Unsurpassed in grace, Polygonatum multiflorum (Common Solomon's Seal) is a shade-loving, rhizomatous perennial with slightly arching stems boasting small clusters of 2-6 nodding, tubular creamy-white flowers tipped with green in late spring. Gracefully hanging from the leaf axils, they are followed in fall by attractive blue-black berries. Highly ornamental, the elegant foliage of oval to lance-shaped, mid-green leaves, turns attractive shades of yellow in the fall. Long-lived and carefree, this is a beautiful addition to the woodland garden where it combines nicely with ferns and hostas.

• Grows up to 2-3 ft. tall (60-90 cm) and spreads 10-12 in. (25-30 cm).

• Perfect for shade gardens and woodland gardens or for banks and slopes. A great companion plant to other shade lovers including hostas, ferns, and astilbes.
• Virtually pest-free, disease-free and low maintenance but watch for slugs and Solomon's seal sawfly larvae.
• Propagate by division in the fall.
