    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    We have always thought the broad shiny leaves on this low growing and fairly fast spreading Solomon Seal were something special and they do add a glint to the garden. The familiar white bell flowers on short stems to 15" and this will make a very attractive skirt to a larger Rhododendron or more statuesque ferns. This is a good form shared with us from the rare plant collection at the Miller Botanic Garden.
