Start the season right
Plant solomons seal in part sun with at least 4 hours of direct sun, once the soil has warmed and frost risk has passed.

Pull a soil test from your local Extension lab to confirm pH and drainage match solomons seal's needs before planting.
Water steadily
Keep the root zone evenly moist through establishment. A 2–3 inch mulch layer holds moisture without waterlogging.
