Plant Overview
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.
