The foliage features shades of green, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is August-September.

The success of Toad Lily ‘Tojen’ begins with its location: bright shade, in suitable soil (kept moist, Clay). For Toad Lily ‘Tojen’, regularly check the soil around the root ball: it must remain fresh. Water at the base when the surface begins to dry and adjust the amount based on rainfall; this exposure (bright shade) does not eliminate the need for water.

The indicated hardiness zone is 4, to be assessed according to your garden conditions.
Maintenance of Toad Lily ‘Tojen’ primarily relies on observing the clump: keep healthy foliage after flowering to allow the plant to continue its growth. Keep the crown clear and observe new growth before removing damaged parts. For companion plants, consider tiarellas, astilbes, and hostas in varieties with similar needs. By composing around its volume of 24 inches (61 cm) by 18 inches (45.5 cm), you will preserve the visibility of its blooms (August-September) and allow circulation between plants.
