I am the proud owner of a Toadlily - couldn't leave it in the garden centre! I have never seen one let alone looked after one so any tips would be gratefully received.
I've had one of these for many years. Like you I couldn't resist. I planted it in a spot that gets sun and shade depending on time of day, water it when dry and it's doing well. It dies back in winter then re-emerges in late spring. No problems.
I love these. Seem tough as old boots. Mine is planted in heavy clay with no improvement added, at the north side of our house, partially under a porch. It might recieve a n hour or so of sun on a good summer day. The soil was pretty heavy and yuck all winter, nearly bone dry all summer. I really neglected that boarder this summer, the hardy geraniums were giving up on life. It has nearly tripled in size since I got it last summer and is now flowering like crazy.

I think next summer I will try and take some cuttings from mine and spread it around abit.
They need a bit of shade, otherwise they are fairly easy.
When you don't even know who's in the team
S.Yorkshire/Derbyshire border
Mine is in a large pot in semi-shade. No problems.
Rainbowfish. . . couldn't you divide it? I did.
Thanks everyone - just scouting out a spot for it.
May keep in pot initially in case I change my mind on position (plus easier up keep slugs off!)
