Polygonatum x hybridum

Solomon's seal, Polygonatum x hybridum, is an old cottage garden plant, producing graceful, arching stems with precisely paired, oval leaves along their length. These are quickly joined by dangling, green-tipped, white bell-shaped flowers that persist throughout late spring and early summer. It's perfect for growing in a mixed, partially shaded border or woodland planting scheme, and looks lovely paired with corydalis and bleeding heart.

Grow Polygonatum x hybridum in moist but well-drained soil in a cool, shady spot. The Royal Horticultural Society has given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).
