Polygonatum - Solomon's Seal

 Delightful woodland plants which combine beautifully with ferns and other woodlanders. Tolerant of most shady positions they like humus rich soils typical of deciduous woodland. If you like Polygonatum, take a look at closely related Disporopsis, another genus of elegant woodlanders with exquisite tubular flowers that enjoy similar woodsy conditons to Polygonatum.

Check for Solomon's Seal sawfly damage in early Summer. Harmful if eaten.

£4.50 (2 or fewer items) £3.95 (3 or more items)


A very useful groundcover for tough, dry shady conditions.

A mythical thug for a shady spot where it can spread and display its fragrant white flowers in Spring. Will tolerate dry soils. It was used most effectively as ground cover in a small, shady courtyard show garden at Chelsea 2012, and can be seen in the walled garden at NT Mottisfont forming a wonderful ground cover under a fig tree.
{Cultivation}
Galium will spread quite vigorously, but it is a plant that will survive the toughest of dry shady conditions.
