This is a lax open perennial herbaceous plant, growing up to 1M forming a creeping clump from spreading rhizomes. Extraordinary, sculptural, orchid-like flowers; with both the petals and anthers bearing purple spots.
T. formosana brings a wildly exotic feel to any garden. Yet it is a reliable, hardy, tough performer once established. You just need the right woodland-style setting, where it will get plenty of shade and humus rich soil that does not dry out in summer.
