Maianthemum racemosum (False Solomon's
Seal)
|
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
A showy perennial, False Solomon’s Seal is native to the Pacific northwest. It is very hardy, surviving between USDA zones 3-8. Reaching heights of up to 3,’ False Solomon’s Seal will form clumps in very little time. It is an exceptionally easy plant to establish in a moist, shaded spot in the garden and asserts itself in the gentlest of ways. The arching stems bear many alternate, 2˝ – 6”glossy green leaves, which make a tasty addition to salads and soups. Gorgeous, creamy white flowers develop in clusters at the tip of the stems, followed by dense clusters of berries. The flowers emit a lovely scent. Native groups respected the medicinal qualities of this plant. |
