False Solomon's Seal
Maianthemum Racemosa
25 seeds
False Solomon Seal is in the asparagus family (Asparagaceae) and the lily family. Maianthemum Racemosa includes the former genus Smilacina. It produces a clump of arching zigzag stems with large shiny and pleated leaves. Clusters of tiny ivory-white flowers are in spikes on the ends of each stem, appearing in late spring. Small red berries are showy in late summer and autumn.
This is a woodland plant that occurs in moist forests and along stream banks. They are widespread at low to subalpine elevations. They prefer well-drained soils that are neutral to slightly acidic. Some people have these in their garden as they can be grown from rhizomes or from seed (although the seed may take up to 18 months to germinate).
