Solomon's Seal growing in my front bed. If you look close you can see the Johnny Jump Ups growing along the edge of the driveway in the background.
Close up of the blossoms.

I've never hear of Solomon's Seal very cute blooms. How high does it grow and does it spread fast. Is it from seeds or bulbs. Sorry for so many ?'s but its got my curiosity up. What about color on the blooms are there only white ones. Can I grow them here?

Darn I knew there was something I was meant to do before leaving Holland. I was supposed to pick up a cutting of SS from Clint and Ina and I forgot all about it. Oh well I guess I'll just have to make another trip sometime to get it!!

Mine gets about 3 ft. tall, doesn't spread too much and I have only seen it with the white blossoms. Mine came from a friend several years ago. Don't know if it will grow in Florida or not Gizmo.

Very nice size clump Polly. I love large groupings of Solomon's Seal. I moved here with a few small ones from the old house and they sure are taking their time! They should bloom soon.
