| Lily of the Valley - Sale Price: $35.65 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.
