Solomon’s Seal
Polygonatum biflorum
There’s something magical about Solomon’s Seal and it’s tough to put our finger on. Is it the graceful, arching stems? Is it large, perfect, deeply-veined leaves? Is it the sweet, bell-shaped, dangling flowers that bloom each spring? Is it the strange, dark berries that appear each autumn? Whatever it is, we’re in love.
