We have several well established polygonatum in the garden. But once into September these plants do look the worse for wear; 'torn' and slug/snail eaten (I dont really mind as they have done their bit earlier in the season).

And so it is quite noticeable when one looks still presentable even now so close to November.

DOUBLE STUFF as of yesterday:

This variety seems to take lots more time to get established but I really like it.
