Tiarella (Foamflower)

Lobed foliage with red and purple veins makes this plant super interesting. It has floaty little flowers that arise on long stems, usually in late spring to early summer.

Toad Lily

Toad Lily comes with intricate flowers that resemble a toad (hence the name), and that’s partly the reason why it’s worth growing these little gems. They usually bloom from mid-to-late summer to fall in a wide variety of spotted colors that range from white to lavender.

Bletilla (ground orchid)

You will instantly fall in love with this exotic-looking flower that usually appears in early spring in white, purple, and various shades of pink. Its flowers last all the way up to six weeks. It’s quite an unusual landscape plant for warmer climates. Also, it can be overwintered indoors in special containers.
