Solomon’s seal, or Polygonatum, is a perennial ground cover with attractive, arching stems and hanging white blooms. These plants look best in a woodland setting, thriving in part-shade where their pale blooms contrast brilliantly against a lush green backdrop.
Lily of the valley and Solomon's seal have a similar appearance, although the latter displays a far less vigorous growing habit. Lily of the valley tends to become invasive under certain conditions, so opting to grow Solomon's seal is a good choice in cooler, northern yards.
