Tricyrtis Garden Orchid ‘Pink Shooting Stars’

Common Name:
Pink Shooting Stars Toad Lily / Garden Orchid

Description:
Tricyrtis Garden Orchid ‘Pink Shooting Stars’ is a captivating perennial admired for its intricate, orchid-like blossoms that appear in the late season when most perennials have finished flowering. The star-shaped blooms are soft pink, often speckled or flushed with darker magenta tones, creating a delicate and exotic display. Flowers are carried on gracefully arching stems above dense, lance-shaped foliage from late summer through autumn, bringing charm and elegance to shaded parts of the garden. This variety thrives in Melbourne’s conditions when planted in humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, and benefits from regular watering during hot spells. Perfect for woodland borders, shaded garden beds, or containers, ‘Pink Shooting Stars’ is a standout plant for collectors and shade gardeners alike, offering long-lasting interest and a burst of colour in the cooler months.
