Description
Rows of green-tipped white flowers hang beneath the arching stems of Polygonatum multiflorum in late spring. Fresh green leaves create a layered woodland look above the blooms.
Rhizomes gradually expand into a clump for shaded borders and underplanting. Plant in fertile, humus-rich soil that stays moist but drains well.
The plant is harmful if eaten, and its sap may irritate; wear gloves when handling it.
