Maianthemum racemosum

feathery false Solomon's seal (Smilacina racemosa)

False Solomon's seal is a beautiful, well-behaved alternative to the more agressive Solomon's seal; this plant thrives in rich woodland soils, bearing terminal panicles of fuzzy white flowers that give way to striking red berries. A must for any woodland garden!
