    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Solomon's Seal is a very diverse lot, and when you think you know most bloom white and maybe a few pink, but how about orange? The plant itself looks much like P. cirrihfolium with whorls of narrow leaves ending in curled tendrils, with which they are able to hold on to neighboring plants. May be shipped as bare root divisions.

    Very unusual with clusters of pendant cylindrical yellow tipped red flowers in the leaf axils, it is a scrambler with whorls of narrow leaves curled into pseudo-tendrils at their tips. Height ranges from 1-5m although ours seem to be on the small end of the scale. ZONE 5
