Solomon's seal
Arching forest plant
Solomon's seal is a woodland plant of the genus Polygonatum, recognized by its arching stems, dangling bell-shaped flowers, and distinctive circular scars on the rootstock that resemble wax seals.
These plants grow in shaded areas across temperate regions and are valued in gardens for their graceful form.
The name also refers to a mystical symbol—a six-pointed star formed by two overlapping triangles—associated with King Solomon and used in occult and religious traditions as a protective emblem.
