Solomon's Seal - Deer Resistant, Shade Lover

'Angel Wings' Variegated Solomon's Seal 

This morning, I was  talking to someone in my town who had shade in their yard and deer  problems..and I suggested Variegated Solomon's Seal (Polygonatum odoratum ‘Variegatum’) to them...

It was the 2013 Perennial Plant of the Year is Award . It is deer resistant and loves shade.

This shady woodland gem grows 18 to 24 inches tall.


It is a great companion plant to hostas, brunnera, dicentra, ferns, and astilbes. 

The sweet fragrance of its small, bell-shaped white flowers will enhance your walk along a pathway on a spring morning. You can use its variegated foliage in spring floral arrangements. And it offers yellow fall foliage color.


It will spread by rhizomes to form colonies. Increase by dividing clumps every two to three years.



I grow this in my yard and every year it spreads and looks so wonderful.
