Companion Plants

  • Hosta (Plantain Lily) - Broad foliage pairs well with the airy arching form of Solomon's Seal in shaded spaces.
  • Heuchera (Coral Bells) - Colorful leaves contrast with the clean green of Polygonatum for visual interest.
  • Tiarella (Foamflower) - Adds delicate blooms and a soft, mounded shape beneath taller stems.
  • Ferns (various species) - Enhance a woodland feel with fine textured fronds surrounding Polygonatum clumps.
  • Brunnera macrophylla (Siberian Bugloss) - Offers spring blooms and heart shaped leaves that echo the form of Solomon's Seal.
