Equally as beautiful as other Solomon Seal species, but with fragrant flowers and bicolor foliage, Polygonatum odoratum 'Variegatum', commonly called Fragrant Variegated Solomon's Seal, is perfect for lighting up and adding unique form and texture to shady garden beds. It is a super hardy and easy-to-grow perennial with upright, gracefully arching red stems. Each stem is clad with oblong, elliptic, bicolor bright leaves bordered with creamy white that turn to an attractive yellow in fall. White tubular flowers with a sweet, lily-like fragrance are about an inch long on short pedicels droop from the leaf axils along and beneath the arching stems in late spring to early summer. The flowers are followed by attractive blue-black berries in fall which hang downward from the leaf axils. Very long-lived and virtually carefree, this Solomon's Seal is a wonderful addition to shade gardens and woodland settings where it combines well with ferns, hosta lilies, heuchera and other shade loving plants of all kinds.
