Polygonatum humile 'Shiro Shima Fu' - This choice form of the laudable Dwarf Solomon's Seal sports fine white stripes and stippling on all egg-shaped leaves. Large white bell flowers flare at the open ends with green-tinged tips. These occur singly or in pairs dangling from leaf axils in early to mid spring. Only growing three inches tall 'Shiro Shima' will spread into a sizable throw rug with modest alacrity. Now the actuality: when variegated this is an amazing plant; the issue is that it demonstrates a wicked tendency towards reversion. This is a collector plant that will require frequent monitoring and division to maintain a variegated stand. Decorate the floor of your garden with this charmer! Polygonatum humile is so worthy we wonder why the Dwarf Solomon's Seal appears to draw little notice... folks, small doesn't preclude might. And this variegated form is choice. Occurring naturally in China, Japan and Korea 'Shiro Shima' was selected in Japan where variegated plants are held in high esteem. Plant in fertile ground in dappled shade to morning sun. Full established pots from rhizome division.
