A close relative to Lily of the Valley, Solomon's Seal is a delicate, bell-shaped flowers that drip gracefully from arching 18" stems. Set against broad green leaves, the tiny flowers seem to glow each evening at dusk and emit a sweet fragrance. Most at home in moist, rich soils, this woodland plant will excel in any shady spot as long as you amend the planitng site with compost and mulch the whole area to help retain moisture. Will spread and naturalize, slowly but surely. (Polygonatum multiflorum)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
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.
