Polygonatum multiflorum

Solomon's Seal are trouble free lily relatives that need little more than a shady spot to thrive.

P. multiflorum, known as Common Solomon's Seal, is an extraordinarily graceful plant. Arching stems are decorated by clusters of nodding creamy-white flowers in late spring. Flowers are followed by interesting blue-black berries. Foliage turns a lovely shade of light yellow in fall.
