Solomon's Seal


 I spotted this plant a couple of times in the neighbourhood.  They are called Soloman's Seals.  Did you know that?

    I've been saying I want to get a couple of these for our own garden. We have a lot of shady areas this would be ideal for. I saw them for the first time when I went to one of the botanical gardens here.

    I do know this. I had these growing wild on my property in N. ID. It is very medicinal and a good one for the garden.

    I'd not heard of this plant before so I just had to look it up.

    "Solomon's seal is an old cottage garden plant that appears early in spring, producing graceful, arching stems with precisely paired, oval leaves along their length. These are quickly joined by dangling, green-tipped, white bells that persist throughout late spring and early summer. Plants enjoy woodland conditions, and associate well in a cool, shady, humus-rich border with spring flowers such as corydalis and dicentra. Stems and foliage remain eye-catching even after the flowers are over. Solomon's seal also looks superb with hardy ferns to create a combination that lasts all summer."

    That's why I enjoy blogging you discover new things every day.
    Thank you Christine.

    All the best Jan

    No and if it grows in Canada it should grow here in North Idaho.

    That's a very pretty plant. It's the first time I've heard of it. I wonder how it got its name.
