Most are late bloomers.

Here is a link that might be useful: Toad Lillies

I also planted one of these this spring, and it's just starting to get some buds. I can't wait!

Thanks for the info. I'll be anxiously awaiting their blooms.

This is the 3rd year my toat lillies have been in the ground. I divided some plants earlier this summer and gave to a friend. They're in total shade and love it. Most of the plants are about 2 feet tall.

I planted my first toad lily late spring and I also have yet to see a bloom. My plant has about tripled in size however, so I am hoping to see buds soon.

I have toad lilies in several places. Most are several years old. The ones in the back are blooming now, but not the ones in the front. There are two different kinds of toad lilies (apart from the foiliage colors), but I don't know what they are. One blooms from the top, kind of like a false soloman seal, and the other blooms down the stalk. The first one is blooming for me now.

I have two varieties of toad lillies. One, Miyazaki, thats been established in the garden for a couple of years - that is blooming now. The other, Rasberry mousse, I just put in in the spring has no signs of flowering yet.

Thanks for the feedback all.

You can't have too many Toad lilies. Some bloom in Summer. (Such as) Tricyrtis formosana 'Amethystina', 'Tricolor' & 'Emperor', which have been blooming for about a month. T. macropoda and 'Gates of Heaven'(yellow leaves), started last week. Later on, T. hirta(the hairy one!) and it's cultivars will begin and last of all will be the yellow flowered species, flava, nana, macrantha, macranthopsis and the hybrid, T. x 'Eco Yellow Spangles'. Most of them multiply fairly rapidly and are easily divided by removing the offset pips. T. hirta also seeds profusely and establishes large colonies, all over your flower beds, in the lawn, and in crevices in the driveway, walkways and street! Great sharing plant.

Where's the best place to get the yellow ones? I'd love to have more, just like you said.

The newer introductions are sometimes available from Hallson Gardens(perennialnursery.com), at reasonable cost. My yellow flowered species came from Don Jacobs at Eco-Gardens in Stone Mountain(mail Decatur). email him at eco_gardens@msn.com for availability. He does mostly mailorder, so his plants will typicaly be small.
He has recently experienced comp problems, which may be repaired by now. If you are interested and receive no response within a reasonable period, email me and I will fwd his phone #.

Thanks! I have bought from Don Jacobs in the past. I love his gardens! I will ask him about the toad lilies. I really appreciate you telling me about Hallson's, too.

I also planted a T. hirta, 'Variegata' in the spring. I think I see signs of tiny buds. However, it seems to have rust. Has anyone else had this problem and if so what is the remedy?
