SOLOMON'S PLUME, FALSE SOLOMON'S SEAL

- / per
It is a woodland herbaceous perennial plant growing to 50-90 cm (20-35 in) tall. The fluffy white flowers bloom in late spring. The plants produce green fruits that are round and turn red in late summer. Plants spread by cylindrical rhizomes up to 0.3 m (1 ft 0 in) long.
Maianthemum racemosum grows in habitats in North America. The most robust and profuse occurrences of this plant are typically found in partial and deep, moist, soft soils. The plant, like the closely related Polygonatum (Solomon's seal), is suitable for cultivation in moist, humus-rich soil in a woodland setting or in dappled shady conditions. Grows well in the same conditions as Trilliums.
Maianthemum racemosum has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Height: 50-90 cm, 20-35"
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Location: Shade
Seeds per packet: 5
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 6 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 8 weeks. Then bring them to a cool room (approximately 12C, 54F) for 8 weeks for germination. They may be growing at this point, though often they need a second cold period. If they are not growing cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for another 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the second cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool (12-15C, 54-59F) room for them to germinate. This double cold period is not always needed, but sometimes necessary, and is very normal for these seeds. Germination is in 30-90 days after the second warming period.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
