Polygonatum multiflorum | Solomon’s Seal
DESCRIPTION
Polygonatum multiflorum, commonly known as Solomon's Seal, is a graceful perennial ideal for shaded garden areas, known for its arching stems, pendent white flowers, and lush green foliage. Blooming in late spring to early summer, the mildly fragrant bell-shaped flowers hang in pairs or small clusters from the leaf axils, attracting bees and other pollinators. The alternate, ovate to lanceolate leaves are arranged in two rows along the arching stems, providing a verdant backdrop. Thriving in partial to full shade, Solomon's Seal is perfect for woodland gardens and shaded borders, pairing well with hostas, ferns, and astilbes to create a rich tapestry of textures and colors.
