dwarf Solomon's seal

Overview

The dwarf Solomon's seal (Polygonatum humile) is a low growing perennial plant that is native to chalky soils in the Mediterranean region. It has glossy, blue-green leaves and bell-shaped, greenish-white flowers that hang from arching stems in mid-spring. The flowers are followed by small, dark blue berries in the summer. Its rhizomes can be planted to create attractive ground cover. This species does best in partial shade and moist, well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for a shady rock garden or woodland edge.
