Is this one for your yard?

Enter your ZIP to see whether this is legal to plant in your state, and whether it survives your winter.

Solomon’s-seal has an on-list result on the cited rows. The same record is limited evidence on the evidence table, a boundary on source depth rather than a second recommendation. This pairing keeps the result useful without inflating the pack behind it.

Maianthemum is a genus-rank umbrella record, and its selected facts remain at that cited level. No species beneath the genus receives this result automatically. The rank and support can be checked again in the source rows, where the on-list direction and limited-evidence label remain tied to this umbrella alone.

How to read this page

The status above is computed from the cited rows below: independent recommendations can support a fire-resistant result, an avoid row can produce keep-away, and disagreement stays visible as conflict. Placement notes preserve each source’s own scheme rather than translating unlike rules into one scale. This is evidence about a plant, not permission to plant it in every part of the defensible space; Zone 0 remains noncombustible.

The evidence

Grouped by what each source concluded. Primary evidence rated the plant itself (a lab, field program, or original curation); corroboration compiled or republished another source's rating and resolves to its root lineage.
