Title: Polygonatum
Post by: bulborum on April 25, 2011, 04:07:13 PM

Here is the first Polygonatum odoratum var. odoratum in flower
This is found in Holland in the dunes
and differs from the Japanese Polygonatum japonicum
with larger flowers , really perfumed (not as poor as Polygonatum japonicum)
and much larger berries as Polygonatum japonicum
loves a full sun spot and does not like clay soils
I tried that a few times
most plants died in a few years

Here is what I am growing as P. verticillatum.  I don't think I have this correct.  Opinions, please.

Do you have a picture from the whole leaf
and the whole pant
where did you buy the plant
or where does it come from (country)
all this info helps to make it easier

Roland,
I'll take a shot of the whole plant, which is about 150cm tall.  I have it from Paul Christian, about 8 years ago.

Here a seedling selection from The Dutch Polygonatum odoratum var. odoratum variegatum
Its a three year old seedling
so I hope it stays stable
Polygonatum odoratum var odoratum Sunshine

it is not the Japanese Polygonatum odoratum var pluriflorum variegatum
