Has anyone had any luck growing either of these two in the coastal south. If so, what are the ideal growing conditions? Lots of shade/leaf mold? I bought one of each at a recent Charleston Horticulture Society Plant Sale and want to place them in the proper environment. I have tried the toad lily before but it didn't last... Please help! Thanks.
I have had Toad Lilies for three years in a shady, damp spot in Savannah. They have multiplied, but I would not consider them invasive where I have them.
I have a friend who's had them in her garden for forever, I think, and they are NOT invasive. Her parents brought them back from Japan in the sixties, I believe.
I guess it depends on your soil. In my clay based soil toad lilies are very invasive, I have to thin them every 3 months and took out most of them where they invaded othjer plants like the roots of my roses.
