With its sweetly fragrant, nodding white bell-shaped flowers, this hardy perennial adds charm to shaded gardens in late spring.

Slender arching stems rise above lush green foliage, creating a delicate yet striking display. Convallaria majalis, commonly known as Lily of the Valley, thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and naturalises easily, forming a dense carpet over time.

Ideal for woodland gardens, shady borders, or under trees, it brings brightness to darker spots and requires minimal maintenance once established. Spreading via underground rhizomes, this cottage garden favourite also makes an excellent cut flower, allowing you to enjoy its scent indoors.

Please note that the lily-of-the-valley sold as bare root plants have been field grown. To keep the roots hydrated, they are supplied with a little compost. Those bare root rhizomes sold in a multibuy offer will come in a bundle of five, and these can be gently teased apart before planting out.

Please note that the lily-of-the-valley sold as bare root plants have been field grown, however in order to keep the roots hydrated, we may have potted them up. Therefore, they may not have a well developed root system and you shouldn't worry if the soil falls away when you are planting out.
