Origin: Japan
Latin: Tricyrtis latifolia

The yellow to almost white flowers, with their beautiful, purple-brown speckled pattern, have the allure of an orchid! All the more surprising then that we are dealing with a super strong garden plant! It flowers in summer (June-Aug) at a height of 60-80 cm. Give them a sunny to semi-shady spot, well-drained soil. The plants grow wild in the forests of Japan. The young leaves and shoots are edible, provided they are cooked.

Sowing method: Sow in a seed tray, first provide warmth for 2-4 weeks (18-22° C), then give a cold period in, for example, the refrigerator (+4° C) for 4-6 weeks, then slowly warm up to room temperature again, after which germination will follow. Sowing directly in the garden is also possible; in that case, simply let it experience winter, and germination will occur in spring.
