When to plant Toad Lily
Toad lily is a shade-loving woodland perennial best planted in spring, the standard window for hardy perennials. Clemson notes it grows best in part shade to shade in evenly moist, well-drained, organically rich soil and blooms from September to October.
The calendar shows this cited seasonal window as an approximate band. It does not convert the season into frost-adjusted dates.
