Lily of the Valley
The Lily of the Valley, 'Convallaria majalis', is a fragrant white Lily-of-the-Valley that is unusual because its dainty bell-shaped flowers are actually double!  Grows to 9 tall. Each arching  stem is weighed down by the profuse blooms it carries.  The fragrant bell shaped flowers are followed by glossy red berries.  Plant in a garden with good air circulation to prevent fungal spots on the petals. Once it becomes established, Lily of the Valley plant is long-lived and spreads slowly through its rhizomes.  This perennial thrives in moist, humus-rich, fertile soil, in sun or full shade.  The more sun there is however, the more important it is for the soil to be moist.   A slow but aggressive spreader, Lily of the Valley adds a bit of elegance and charm to shade-prone areas of any landscape! * Fragrant * Double blooms * Slow grower
