Variegated Solomons Seal (for my File)

Lucky to find it then ....hoping for flowers on our variegated lily of the valley....

The saw fly made short work of my foliage this year , its nice to have a variegated form ...

Ah, so that's what was eating my plain Polygonatum last year.

Very likely Sue , they start off as little caterpillars they quickly munch their way through the plant foliage , you can see them hanging by the dozens from the edges of the foliage they are so well camouflaged by the time you've seen them its often to late to stop them ..nasty things ..

Damage was so bad, I moved the plain clump to the front garden. Sawfly has not found this clump yet. Was going to put the variegated into this vacated spot, apart from the pest, it's a v. good position for shade lovers.

Fingers crossed that Sawfly will not like my Uvularia which is in this shady area.
