Easily grown in part shade to full shade in ordinary, medium-to-moist, well-drained soil. Soils should be wet and humusy. In ideal growing conditions, rhizomes slowly expand to create colonies.
In the spring and fall, you can divide the plant’s thick roots. Carefully dig out the rhizomes and separate parts from the knotty root segments. Transplant them to other parts of the garden.
Smooth solomon’s seal may be found in nature along forest borders, woods, meadows and fields, and woodlands. It is suitable for use in a cottage garden with slightly shaded borders or in rock gardens. Astilbe and ferns are good companion plants.
