Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum'
Polygonatum spread slowly by rhizomes, likes a moist but well-drained soil. Sweetly fragrant flowers makes this an elegant addition to your shade garden. Even the Hummers are known to visit. This is truly an all-season perennial.
Low-maintenance. Prefers a rich, organic soil. Division is seldom necessary but can be done in early spring before sprouting. Old flowers simply drop off plant. Stems can be pulled off easily after frost. Slow to establish but long-lived once mature.
Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
