Summary

Disporopsis jinfushanensis, commonly known as Dwarf Evergreen Solomon’s Seal, is an evergreen subshrub native to the understory of forested areas in South-Central China. It is a low-growing plant, typically reaching heights of 0.3-0.6 feet (0.09-0.2 meters) with a spreading habit that can extend up to 6 feet (1.8 meters) wide. This species is characterized by its arching stems and glossy, lance-shaped leaves that provide year-round interest. In the spring, it produces small, bell-shaped white flowers that dangle from the leaf axils, adding a subtle charm to the garden.

Dwarf Evergreen Solomon’s Seal is valued for its ability to thrive in shady conditions, making it an excellent choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as ground cover under larger plants. It prefers consistently moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. While it can tolerate some sun, it truly flourishes in part shade to full shade environments. Gardeners appreciate this plant for its low maintenance requirements and its resistance to most pests and diseases. However, it may require protection from slugs and snails, which find its foliage attractive.CC BY-SA 4.0
