Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Solomon’s Seal bare roots is straightforward, ensuring these beautiful plants thrive in your garden. The ideal time for planting is in early spring or fall, allowing the roots to establish before extreme temperatures set in. Choose a location that receives partial to full shade, as these plants perform best with limited direct sunlight, mimicking their natural woodland habitat. They will struggle in hot, direct sun, which can scorch their delicate foliage.

When it comes to soil, Polygonatum Biflorum plants prefer well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or other organic materials to improve drainage and fertility. Ensure the planting hole is wide enough to accommodate the roots without bending, and plant the bare root with the buds facing upwards, just below the soil surface. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. Consistent moisture is crucial during the establishment phase, but avoid waterlogging. Once established, these are truly low maintenance garden additions, tolerating drier conditions but performing best with regular watering during prolonged dry spells. Fertilize sparingly in spring with a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer if your soil is poor; otherwise, an annual top-dressing of compost is usually sufficient. These shade loving perennials are generally pest and disease resistant, further simplifying their care.
