Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum'

Angled Solomon's seal is a traditional cottage garden plant, bearing graceful, arching stems with paired, oval leaves along their length. These are quickly joined by dangling, green-tipped, white bells that persist throughout late spring and early summer.

Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum' has arching burgundy stems with alternate leaves edged in creamy-white. The stems and foliage remain eye-catching throughout the season, and attractive black berries develop after the flowers have faded. It's perfect for growing in a cool, shady, humus-rich border with spring flowers such as corydalis and bleeding heart.
