Polygonatum verticillatum

Very cool Solomon’s Seal known for its arching, narrow, whorled leaves and upright, stately architectural appearance, reminiscent of bamboo or equisetum, white-pink, bell-shaped flowers appearing in late spring that dangle handsomely from the leaf axils, followed by clusters of adorable red fruit in fall. Excellent mass planting among hostas or other large-leaved perennials, or next to large boulders, where they are allowed to shoot up to a majestic 6-7′ in height. Part sun is ideal with occasional summer watering to keep from drying out completely. Frost hardy to USDA zone 5.
