Heritage Perennial Profile Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.  Plant Number: 1.438.020 USDA Zone: 2 - 9  Polygonatum × hybridum Common name :  Garden Solomon’s Seal The graceful, arching stems of Solomon’s Seal add an exotic touch to the shade garden and are often described as being architectural. This heirloom selection has green leaves and clusters of dangling white bell flowers in late spring, followed by a crop of blue-black berries in the fall. Excellent for cutting. Beautiful in the woodland garden, combining well with ferns and Hosta of all kinds. Plants are a little slow to establish, but clumps are long-lived and carefree. May be divided in early fall, once clumps are large enough. Usually turns bright golden-yellow in October for a brief but glorious finish to the season. Nomenclature for Polygonatum has been terribly mixed-up over the years, and this form is often listed incorrectly as P. multiflorum. CAUTION: Harmful if eaten.

This is the usual Solomon's Seal or David's Harp. A gracious woodland plant which will thrive in any spot without sun, behind a wall or under trees. The stems bear along their arching length broad, horizontally poised leaves and little bells of greeny white in clusters. The ideal companion is a lacy fern.; Graham Stuart Thomas, Perennial Garden Plants
