Polygonatum

POLYGONATUM An important genus for the woodland garden, most of the 55 or so species are Asian, with a few North American species. They add an elegance and grace that is perfect with ferns. If garden space is tight shovel up a few old Hostas and toss them on the compost heap to make room for some Polygonatum. Some of the small species like hookeri are perfect for a woodland trough, and the climbing species are easily scrambled through understory shrubs.

Polygonatum multiflorum 'Variegatum'

I believe this is 2004 perennial of the year, and by all accounts, a fantastic plant but horribly intertwined with the following, which is itself confused (odoratum is European and falcatum is Japanese). All are edged variegates, please buy some of each and let us know if you manage to definitively key them out, personally I am beginning to suspect they are all hybrids.____ZONE 4
