Tricyrtis formosana 'Gilt Edge' Growing and Maintenance Tips

Tricyrtis grows easily in average to moist, well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. For best show, plant prefers moist, organically rich, slightly acidic soil in part shade. Over time, Tricyrtis will colonize by creeping rhizomes in a non-invasive manner. Plant should be divided every 3-4 years in spring. In the garden, Tricyrtis tends to wake from dormancy in late spring. It’s a showstopper and should be planted somewhere it can be observed at close range for the flowers to be appreciated. Plants may benefit from extra watering during the heat of the summer.

A great specimen in a perennial border, shade garden, woodland garden, or naturalized area.
