Polygonatum odoratum Chanticleer Central America The flowers resemble large shaggyPolygonatum odoratum 'Chanticleer' is a 2024 Plant Delights JLBG introduction of an exceptional Solomon's Seal clone we noticed on a 2006 visit to the amazing Chanticleer Gardens, in PA. For us, Polygonatum 'Chanticleer' has formed a 6' wide patch in 15 years of 3' tall stalks, each clothed with large 5. 5" long x 2. 5" wide leaves. When the slightest breeze blows, the lovely silvery backs are revealed.
