More Details

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.
