An unusual and uncommon evergreen relative of the Solomon's Seal. Very useful for a shady spot in the garden, including dry shade.
In late spring or early summer, small white bell-shaped flowers tipped in pale green are borne along the undersides of the stems. The flowers have a light, lemon perfume. The flowers are a long time in the bud, which is an attractive feature.
This rhizomatous perennial forms a nice clump and once established is very drought tolerant. Makes a good ground-cover.
Native to mountainsides in southeast China.
The common name Solomon's seal relates to the biblical figure King Solomon.
Height: 60cm
Common name(s): Evergreen Solomon's Seal
Although this plant is classed as evergreen, young plants may die back to ground level during winter and shoot again in the spring. The foliage of Solomon's Seal may also die back in hot summers, growing again when the weather cools.
