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.
