 This tall, graceful shade dweller adds height and movement to any garden.  The Solomon’s Seal, a close relative of the Lily-of-the-Valley, was used by American Indian and Pioneer in making teas and medicines.  This plant got its name from the scars on the rootstock, which looks like a royal seal. The name Solomon came from King Solomon, a King of Israel in the 10th century BC. At that time, King Solomon was said to have placed his seal of approval on this plant.
