Polygonatum huanum (syn. kingianum)

A very special Solomon's Seal from China forming tall thin stems 2 to 3m high, clad their entire length in whorls of narrow linear leaves, each with a tiny curled tip for attaching gently to surrounding vegetation. Clusters of remarkable orange-vermillion tubular flowers with green tips emerge from the leaf axils in spring/early summer. For a shaded humus rich site with even moisture. Hardy. Confused with true P. kingianum in both horticulture and botany.
