Quick Overview

Convallaria - Lily of the Valley

Product Description

I saw an incredible sight last spring – lily of the valley growing wild and filling the air with their extraordinary perfume and its spurred me on to plant more.

These delicate, scented native wild flowers will thrive in dry or damp shade. They’ll live there happily forever and of course, no May garden (or bedside) is quite complete without them.

Genus: Convallaria
Variety C. majalis (also known as Lily of the Valley, Mayflower, Little Maybells, Jacob's Ladder, Fairy Cups)
Type: Deciduous perennial
Soil Type: Moist but well-drained
Site: Dry or damp shade
Height: 15-20cm
Spacing: Plant 5-7cm deep, 20cm apart. Layer bulbs if room is tight.

For the vase: Cut the flower and leaf together for a fresh looking and smelling arrangement. They will last 4-5 days but may fade faster in a warm room.
