In spring and early summer, it produces one to two cylindrical flowers that are cream-white with green tips, which emit a subtle fragrance and appear in the leaf axils. These blooms may give way to blue-black berries later in the season.

Polygonatum odoratum 'Silver Wings' is a perennial that forms dense clumps and grows to a height of about 40 cm. It features arching, angled stems adorned with lanceolate to ovate foliage measuring 5-15 cm in length. The leaves present a rich green on the upper side and a silvery blue-green on the underside. In late spring and early summer, you can expect to see one to four fragrant, drooping white flowers with green tips emerging from each upper leaf axil; these flowers reach approximately 3 cm in length. Occasionally, these blooms give way to small black berries, around 6 mm in diameter. The flowers may attract bees, making it a beneficial addition to pollinator gardens.
