Description
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 inches tall and gradually spreading by underground roots to form an 18 inch or more wide colony, Lily Of The Valley is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces or in groupings or as a naturalizing groundcover under trees or in woodland settings. Also very nice as a centerpiece or accent in container gardens surrounded by low and spreading perennial or annual plants, and can even be grown indoors as a year round houseplant. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, woodland gardens, white theme gardens, Zen gardens, Asian gardens, cutting gardens and cottage gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for groundcover

Growing Preferences
Lily of the Valley is very easy to grow in a wide range of soil conditions including clay soils. That said, it prefers and will spread more vigorously in a consistently moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and rich in organic matter. Will grow in full sun in cooler climates however we think this one retains its darkest foliage color and performs best in shade or with some filtered sun or shade during the hot afternoon hours.
Plant Long & Prosper!
