Lily of the Valley
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

| Hosta - Remember Me - Sale Price: $39.95 Hosta Remember Me, Hosta 'Remember Me', is named in honor of Sandy De Boer, a former employee of Walters Gardens Inc. who died of breast cancer in 2001. Walters Gardens Inc. makes a donation for every plant sold of 'Remember Me' to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Hosta 'Remember Me' is a beautiful white centered selection of Hosta 'June'. The small mounds of creamy white foliage with blue-green margins make excellent plants for smaller areas or in front of the border. 'Remember Me' demonstrates many of the same outstanding qualities of 'June', like good slug resistance and thick healthy foliage. Lavender flowers add additional beauty to this hosta! Hostas grow best in moist, well-drained, highly organic soils with a pH between 5.5 and 7.5. Sandy loam is better than clay because it provides more aeration for the roots. It is best to keep areas around hostas clear of excess leaf debris to reduce the presence of slugs and snails. Plant this low care plant in an area that receives the right amount of light. The leaves need some morning sun to bring out the best coloration; too much sun will burn the leaves. 'Remember Me' is most at home in shady, woodland settings and often works well as specimen or edging plant. 'Remember Me’ honors not only Sandy, but the thousands of women who fight this life threatening disease every day! * Slug resistance * Thick foliage * Small mounded habit |
