Polygonatum odoratum is a colonizing herbaceous perennial growing to 85 cm (33 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide, with alternate, simple leaves on arching stems. The scented tubular flowers are white with green tips, borne in spring and hanging from the underside of the stems.
Polygonatum odoratum prefers a shady exposure but also grows in semi-shade; direct sun does not suit them in Mediterranean, tropical or subtropical climates. T
Fertilize with compost or manure in late winter and with mineral fertilizer every 15 days during spring and until flowering ends.
The soil must be acidic, well drained, and contain abundant organic matter. Planting is done in spring or autumn.
