Latin Name:  Tricyrtis latifolia
Family:  Tricyrtidaceae
Author:  Maxim.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  0.6   Mature Width:

Habitat:  Woods in mountains all over Japan[58].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a humus-rich fertile well-drained but moisture-retentive acid or neutral light sandy loam in partial shade[175, 200]. Prefers the dappled shade of a woodland garden but tolerates full sun if the soil is reliably moist throughout the growing season[200], flowering earlier in such a position. Plants require a sunnier position when growing in northern Britain[233]. This species is hardy to about -20°c, but if prolonged cold weather is not accompanied by snow cover the plants will appreciate a good mulch of organic matter[187]. Plants are very susceptible to attacks by slugs[175].
