Polygonatum comprises rhizomatous herbaceous perennials characterized by upright or arching stems that support shiny, elliptical leaves. These plants produce drooping, tubular or bell-like flowers, which may later give rise to black or red berries.

Polygonatum hookeri is a low-growing perennial that gradually expands through its creeping habit. Its stems reach a height of up to 4 cm and stand upright. During late spring and early summer, it generates individual flowers that range from pale to deep pink, each measuring about 2 cm in diameter with a short tubular form. After flowering, the plant produces small black fruits.

Polygonatum humile is a perennial plant that grows from rhizomes, reaching heights of up to 20 cm. Its stems are upright and support pairs of pointed, oval leaves that are a mid-green hue. In late spring, the plant produces small tubular flowers, measuring up to 2 cm in length, which can be found either singly or in pairs beneath the foliage. These flowers are followed by the development of small blue-black berries.

Polygonatum multiflorum 'Ramosissima'

Polygonatum multiflorum is a perennial plant characterized by its rhizomatous growth habit. Its stems can reach heights of up to 90 cm and are adorned with ovate, lanceolate leaves that measure between 5 and 15 cm in length, arranged alternately along the stem. During late spring, it showcases 2 to 6 drooping, tubular flowers, which are white with green tips and approximately 1 cm in size, emerging from the lower leaf axils. These flowers give way to round, black berries.
