Solomon's Seal - Polygonatum spp.

Solomons Seal, also known as Lady's Seal, Sealwort, and David's Harp, belongs to the genus Polygonatum in the family Asparagaceae. Over 60 species of Solomons Seal are native to Asia, Europe, and North America. 


Solomon's Seal Plant is Used in Medicine

 

 It is primarily known as a medicinal plant, and throughout history, its rhizomes or underground stems have been used to treat skin conditions, respiratory problems, and digestive issues. The plant received the names Sealwort and Lady's Seal because of its ability to seal wounds. Additionally, traditional European cuisine uses Lady's Seal for culinary purposes. It is a starchy substance that can be baked into bread and used as a thickener, much like arrowroot. The shoots can also be eaten similarly to asparagus.


 The plant is named after King Solomon of the Bible, who is said to have used the roots to create a magic seal that would protect him from evil spirits and malicious intentions. While we don't often use Solomons Seal to ward off evil today, the plant's rhizomes are still sometimes used in traditional medicine to treat various ailments, including arthritis, bruises, wounds, and digestive issues.


 Lady's Seal is known for its long, arching stems and alternating oval-shaped leaves with parallel veins. The flowers are small and usually hang down from the stem. They are bell-shaped and typically white or greenish-yellow in color. The plant usually flowers and blooms in the late spring or early summer.


 In addition to its medicinal uses, Lady's Seal is also a popular ornamental plant in gardens. It is known for its graceful arching stems and delicate white flowers, and it can be grown in shade or partial shade rather than full sun, like most ornamental plants.


 Gardeners will find Lady's Seal an exciting and versatile plant, especially considering its long and storied history.
