POTTED PLANTS
Great foliage plants. While considered a shade species, it shouldn't be overlooked for a sunny spot.

Questions and Answers
Solomon's Seal grows in a variety of conditions, though it is often found in woodlands with fertile, loamy soil. For those looking to replace their non-native hostas, Solomon's seal is a fantastic alternative. The foliage lasts all season, and showy blue berries develop toward the end of summer below long, arching stems. Unfortunately, it is favored by deer and isn't suited for areas with dense deer populations (though the plants will survive occasional browsing). The cream colored flowers are visited mostly by bees and hummingbirds. Solomon's seal spreads slowly by rhizomes. The rhizomes and young shoots of the plant are edible, though the berries are not.

Q:
How much space will one quart pot spread to cover? I have a large full shade planter and I would need enough to go about 15 total feet in length.

A:
They aren't particularly fast spreaders, so I'd suggest planting them about a foot apart.
