Another Solomon’s Seal imposter, pyramidal clusters of starry white flowers are crowded on 2” wide flower spikes from April through May & beyond, berries start green with black stripes turning to mottled dark wine red, lance-shaped 3 - 6” leaves on erect arching stems emerge in the spring like spikes coming out of the ground, spreading by freely forking rhizomes forming leafy colonies, a really tough plant that is great for shade.
