Solomon's Seal - Polygonatum biflorum White, tubular flowers grow beneath the leaf axils. Each flower becomes a dark blue fruit in late summer. The berries are not edible, but the rhizome is. These plants grow very slowly and should be harvested sparingly and with care because taking the root will kill the plant.
