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.
All our plants are supplied in 9cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant.
The majority of our plants are grown outdoors. This means that they follow their natural growth patterns and are ready to plant at any time of the year. If you order the plants in winter, they are likely to be dormant and died back to ground level, ready to shoot again in spring - just like the herbaceous perennials in your own garden. Very occasionally, in winter and early spring, we may indicate on the packing slip that a plant needs to be hardened off before planting out. This will be because it has just come out of a polytunnel. If you have any questions about our plants or growing methods, please feel free to drop us an email.
We grow most of what we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
Please note: We do our best to provide acurate photographs of the plants we sell, but colours display differently on different screens, printers and in different light and we cannot guarantee that what you are seeing on your screen, or on the plant label provided, will exactly match the plant when it flowers in your garden. Plant dimensions are given as a guide only and the actual sizes reached may vary from garden to garden, depending on local conditions.
