Description
The Solomon Seals make up an important group of North American woodland plants, and there are several types. This is the main species, with elegantly arching single stems which bloom in pairs of yellowish/white/greenish bell-like flowers all along the leafy stems. The common name comes from the fact that the root of this species bears a mark which some think resembles the Star of David, or the "Seal of King Solomon." False Solomon's seal, a similar-leaved species has completely different flowers. Both are great additions to any wild garden, providing lush greenery, lovely bloom, and then striking berries to the spring flower show.

"this plant hasn't shown up since i put em in the dirt. maybe next year, maybe not. but a bummer."
None of the bare roots I bought grew
"I was disappointed that none of these Solomon seal bare roots grew. The spot I picked has others growing there so I know it should have been good for them."
2 out of 3 not bad
"Planted 3 roots late April. Early May 2 sprouted, 1 of them flowered May 9th."
Value and Beauty!
"What a wonderful healthy plant. I planted it the day I received it and it has been beautiful ever since. AmericanMeadows is dependability plus!"
Here's hoping!!!
"They came in the mail about a month ago and they were three very different sizes. The large one even had a fruiting body on it but the minute it broke the surface of the soil my cat ate it. Hopefully the other two will sprout soon to replace it."
Beautiful and unique
"I love this plant! It multiplies when established but does not spread. Has beautiful, delicate flowers that look like bells with a green ruffle around the bottom of the flower. I have shared this plant with many friends and they love it also. I also have a variegated leaf one that is just as wonderful. I just moved from my home of 30 years but this is the first plant of all my plants that I moved right away."
Beautiful
"I bought a slip of this at a "yard" sale. The lady was moving and wanted homes for all her many plants. Anyway, I planted it in my shade garden and it just took off. It has multiplied very nicely and always full of flowers during the blooming season. I have since divided my plants and have planted them along my wrought iron fence and it is just gorgeous. I sit and have my morning coffee looking at this beautiful plant. Rich green in color and it is loaded with the delicate little flowers that look like cream colored bells trimmed in green. They are a multiplying plant but not an intrusive plant. Give it a try. You must always take some extra attention to any plant during the planting time, but once it is established, it will give you many years of pleasure."
One Year later, Awesome
"I planned two shade gardens and bought my plants all from American meadows for one. The garden had montgomery astilbe, lady fern, a hybrid lobelia (which was not a good choice) and this solomon's seal. In spite of the smallness of the root, the plant took well in spring and produced little flowers. As an added surprise, the plants took on a ghostly pale gold fall color. They're in shade behind a shed and get ample moisture from runoff. They get a bit of morning sun. This year the plants have THREE stems, and the same lovely two-toned flowers. I suppose these may be more fragrant once the plants get bigger."
