White Flower Farm Polygonatum odoratum Variegatum

Yes, this plant is well-suited for both partial and full shade. Its variegated foliage is particularly effective at brightening up darker corners of the garden where other plants might struggle.

We recommend spacing your plants 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for the rhizomatous root system to spread while ensuring the arching stems have space to display their graceful, fern-like habit.

While no plant is completely immune to hungry wildlife, Variegated Solomon's Seal is generally avoided by deer. It is a reliable choice for gardens where deer pressure is a common concern.

While it requires moderate moisture initially to get established, it becomes remarkably drought-tolerant over time. Once settled, it will only need supplemental water during extended dry spells.

The plant blooms in late spring, typically between May and June. The small white flowers produce a sweet, lily-like perfume that is most noticeable on warm evenings.

As a hardy perennial, it is designed to return faithfully each year. It is suitable for USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of climates.
