Hairy Solomon’s Seal emerges early in the spring, with stems that gently curve into prominent 30-inch long arches, and bear 2 inch long, oval-shaped, shiny mid-green leaflets. Soon, pendulous, bright white lightly-scented flowers arrive and later give way to attractive bright blue berries that contrast nicely with the foliage. Solomon’s Seal is effective when mass planted as a ground cover, lining pathways, and as a companion to robust shade lovers.

Care
Watering:
Hairy Solomon's Seal is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
Hairy Solomon's Seal is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
Hairy Solomon's Seal is a deciduous plant (nonevergreen) and does not require pruning. It is perfectly acceptable to allow the dropped leaves to decompose and nourish the soil.
