Scented Solomon Seal. Our collection from 10000' of this vigorous form of the species identified for us by Dr. Aaron Floden. We have other collections of this species which get just 3" tall but this collection gets near 3x that. The expected soft-pink bells are scented which is an endearing, if subtle, attribute.
The dubious origins of this plant only add to its mystique. Like the hydra of greek myth this Solomon's seal decided two heads were better than one, and then each of those heads came to the same conclusion. Subsequent divisions and branches result in a leafy profusion apt to convince one that they have discovered a shrubby Polygonatum. As beautiful as it is strange.
Our collection of this verticillate (leaves in a spoke or whorled arrangement on stem) species from a chilly mountain summit at almost 11000'. Even at this elevation, there was still active grazing by domestic animals and tasty morsels like this were to be found only in the embrace of woody and unappealing shrubs like Berberis. Wreathed in gloomy and mysterious hill fog, the red fruit on this Polygonatum shone like baubles most desirous. A smaller species, upright 16"-24" tall and fairly sun tolerant if that is your only choice rather than the preferred part to light shade. Fresh divisions of healthy rhizomes.
One of the tall verticillate species in China, this was growing among the branches of a striking shrubby Symplocos just below the mountain summit. The leaves on this species are arranged in whorls like the spokes of a tire. At the leaf base are clustered white and green flowers which turn into red fruit. We like it. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering.
