Deep, rich, moist soil is best. Solomon's Seal is sometimes slow to establish itself, but is very long-lived and easy to maintain once it does.
Plants may be divided in the spring or fall. The fleshy white tubers should be planted just below the soil surface with the stems pointing upwards when transplanting.
