Polygonatum
« on: September 09, 2017, 09:37:44 PM »
This Polygonatum I bought in China. It is 10cm tall, light pink flowers and now beautiful pink fruit. Does anyone know what it's called?

Hello Egon,
 nice plant - have you searched the wonderful polygonatum thread by Aaron Floden in the forum? Might be a good place to start!   http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=2033.0

Are the flowers pink?  May be a form of P. prattii  ? THough I think those fruits are more pendant than yours.  :-\

Image of the plant in flower?

 From this image of the plant in fruit I would say it is P. kansuense.

I'm sorry, I will make flowers in the next spring. It is certainly not Polygonatum kansuense nor P. prattii.

Polygonatum kansuense is highly variable and grows from Nepal, into Sikkim, India, and up into Tibet, Sichuan, Yunnan, and Gansu in China. I will patiently wait for flowers next year :)

It's not this one, then? Daxueshan, from one of the Czech collectors years ago.
