Solomon’ s-seal, << SOL uh muhnz, >> is the name of a large group of hardy plants that grow in the temperate zones of North America, Europe, and Asia. The plants get their name from their thick, creeping rootstalks, which bear growth scars that resemble the mystic seal of Solomon.
A Solomon’s-seal has a long, arching stem that gives it a graceful appearance. It bears round berries that may be blue or black. Greenish, bell-shaped flowers grow at the bases of the leaves. Solomon’s-seal plants grow best in shady places and in rich, moist soil.
