Toad Lillies - Hanging In/On Behind Firepit Area - August 2024

Back in 2020, I discovered Toad Lilies and set about trying to plant a few of them in my woodland garden in the far back.  Like a lot of other things, these were shared by Erin the Impatient Gardener, who shared them in her own garden.   Come Spring 2021, I planted a few small containers of them in a little drift in the southwest corner of our lot.  The variety that planted are called Gilt Edge Japanese Toad Lillies and they were IMMEDIATELY destroyed by the (dang!) rabbits.    That's when I installed some rings of Chicken Wire to protect them.  I've left those rings in place for three-plus years now and because of that (I think), well....we *still* have Toad Lillies.  Not a lot of them.  But, they're still here.

I posted the VERY SAME photos last year - about a year ago.  

Here, below, are a couple of photos showing the remaining Toad Lillies.  These get ZERO supplemental water, so they're just doing their thing on their own.  

With a little water, maybe these will naturalize a little more?  That's something I can help with over the next few months - before dormancy.
