Polygonatum odoratum 'Ruby Slippers'

An excellent shade performer, Polygonatum odoratum 'Ruby Slippers' has bright red, slightly arching stems and adorable bell-shaped white flowers that hang down from the stem. The leaves are deep green with silvery undersides. After flowering, blue berries appear and last into late fall for extended interest. Solomon's Seal makes a beautiful and interesting backdrop for other woodland plants.
