I have the regular green SS, and a lot of them are in pretty deep shad, like under Norway maples. I don't have the varigated ones, but I thought all varigated leaves need some sun?

My mother has varigated solomon's seal under a big silver maple at the edge of a lawn. It gets some evening sun but the rest of the day it is shaded. Not sure if this helps you :)

my mom has a bunch of solomen's seal (cant remember if its varigated or not) that is in shade all day but gets maybe an hour or two of evening sunlight. it does well and really started to thrive and multiply once we started burning.

i have some in pretty deep shade and it does well and fruits like crazy...

froggy

I would just mention that, in my area anyway, the deer absolutely love this plant. If you don't have deer, you will love the way this beautiful plant lights up a dark area.

I have mine in among ferns and hosta. It does well even after the oaks leaf out and no direct sun gets to them.

Hi:
I have a variegated variety and it is about 6 years old. It is planted on South end of the house under a huge Pin Oak, and is next to a 6 foot wooden fence. It has gotten a couple of new stems each year. When the tree has leafed out it gets alot of shade. I noticed when I removed the fallen oak leaves,which I leave all Winter as mulch, it had put up already. It is about 5 or 6 inches tall right now.

I have mine in among my hosta,astilbe, bleeding hearts etc.All grow under a grove of old growth burr oak. They are happy and multiplying. I would not call my shade dense.

I have varigated and it only gets morning sun. Its doing very well.I use deer out. We have a huge deer pouplation and I dont have a problem.

I also have it under Norway spruce and it does great even in dry shade. The varigated does well too, but it seems to lose some of the varigation and it spreads which it readily does.

We've got varigated Solomon's Seal in north facing full shade. It does just fine interplanted amongst astilbes and heuchura. The deer don't seem to bother it. One strategy we've used is to ring our front garden with a nice thick barrier of plants the deer don't like: stachys (lambs ears), rue, lavender, lungwort and heleborus.
