    A wonderful wildflower, native to the eastern US, with unbranched, upright stems, handsome leaves, and in spring, the great treat -- white flowers dangling down from the arching stems. Spreads by rhizomes to form clusters. To 1-3 ft tall in clumps to 3 ft wide in part shade to full shade with summer water for best appearance. Dies back in winter and returns in all its glory with spring temperatures. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8.

    Similar to the species described below, but much shorter, only reaching about 6-36" in height.

    Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum biflorum) is prized for its deep blue berries in late summer and fall, and for the structural interest it adds to the woodland garden. The three foot tall arching stems look great all summer long, and the leaves turn a bright gold in autumn. Looks great when planted with ferns! Hardy to Zones 3 - 9.

    Graceful arching sprays & small hanging clusters of creamy white bells in the leaf axils followed by greenish berries. Polygonatum is a much more diverse genus in Asia and we offer many of the Asian counterparts in the main perennial section, they mix well in the garden. ZONE 4
