Disporum trabeculatum, commonly known as Ridged Solomon’s Seal, is an evergreen perennial herb native to the forest understories and shaded slopes of Southeastern China and Vietnam. It typically grows to a height of 1-3 feet (0.3-0.9 meters) and a width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters). The plant features arching stems with alternate leaves and small, bell-shaped white flowers that bloom in the spring, adding a delicate touch to the garden. The flowers are followed by black berries in the fall, which can provide visual interest and attract birds.

Ridged Solomon’s Seal is valued for its graceful form and the contrast its foliage provides in shaded garden areas. It is often used in woodland gardens, as ground cover, or in naturalized areas. Gardeners appreciate its low maintenance requirements and its ability to spread slowly, forming attractive clumps. It prefers moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter and thrives in part shade, though it can tolerate full shade. While generally pest-free, it can occasionally suffer from slugs or snails.CC BY-SA 4.0
