These are so valuable in a dry and shady spot. This is Polygonatum odoratum multiflorum

How big does your solid green SS get? I have three sizes in the solid green - one 3-6", one 10-12" and another 2-3' tall. I don't know the names of any of them.

Mine get to about 3 feet. They are lovely but get attacked very early on by black flies then grey worms that strip the foliage by mid summer!

that doesn't happen to mine...but the deer do love to bite their heads off just as they are unfurling. I have so many that it doesn't matter but I do really love the huge ones...they are also wonderful in flower arrangements.

I have the biflorum and the bumblebees love it. Nothing else bothers. It's under an eave, so it gets almost 4' tall.
