Polygonatum odoratum
SOLOMON'S SEAL
SKU: 1449-5
Description
Arching long stems produce dangling creamy-white flowers in spring and early summer. Plants form impressive mounds of arching foliage. A beautiful woodland perennial that is quite at home in the perennial garden. Plants are tolerant of poor soils. This plant is known as Common Solomon's Seal, as there are several Solomon's Seal available (which we also offer).
Height: 40cm
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Location: Shade or part sun
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: Start these seeds right away for best germination rates. Start indoors. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 80 days. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination is generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
