Solomon's-plume is an elegant woodland native that prefers part to full shade and consistently moist, humus-rich soil. Plant it under deciduous trees where it will naturalize beautifully, producing arching stems of white spring flowers followed by red berries in autumn. It is a low-maintenance plant that rewards minimal care with reliable seasonal interest and wildlife value.
