Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Of the various white-variegated Solomon’s seals, Polygonatum x hybridum 'Striatum' is one of the most ornamental with much bolder streaks highlighting not just the leaf edges but also venturing towards the leaf centres. Every leaf is different! The arching stems reach about two feet tall holding pendulous white flowers with green tips in spring.

Lovely, vigorous hybrid with rhizomatous spreading curving stems to 3’ tall…showy foliage is pleated and puckered with irregular creamy white margins and streaking. Dangling white bells decorate the stems in mid spring. Moist, organic soils in morning sun or light shade. This plant will overrun wimpy neighbors, but good under shrubs and with large ferns.

Useful and easy to grow white-variegated selection of Solomon's Seal that stands out like a beacon in the green-heavy shade garden. We like their arching stems, glossy leaves, which resemble corn, and the small, pendulous flowers which appear in abundance each spring. Plant amid ferns, hostas, or other shade dwellers, repeating clumps if necessary to create pockets of brightness and cheer. Height to 24-30". Regular moisture. Frost hardy to USDA zone 3.

An extremely striking, beautiful variegated solomon's seal, dark green leaves painted liberally with broad strokes of pure white. Absolutely gorgeous. Only a foot or so tall, spreads moderately but not too aggressively. Zone 4.

A very strikingly variegated plant. Besides the white edging, it's leaves are irregularly white striped. Bell-shaped, white flowers. Slow spread makes it useful for smaller areas.

A miniature form with lots of variegation.

Solomon's Seal. Mighty fine selection and surely one of the very best variegated perennials for shade. Good clean white variegation that illuminates where it is planted. Stunning enough to stand alone with a simple groundcover at its feet or schmoozes easily with other garden glitterati.
