    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    A legendary plant hookeri is the Polygonatum for troughs. Hookeri is a true alpine reaching 5000 meters in the Himalayas and Western China, the 3-5cm high stems can form mats a meter wide in the wild, but don't plan on that in your garden. Hookeri is difficult but worth any amount of effort, the huge pink flowers are unlike anything else in the genus. The AGS manual recommends alkaline soils and plenty of sun, however mine are living is slightly acid soil and 60% shade. ZONE 4
