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.

The potted plants are growing well but may not yet be fully rooted. This is normal for Convallaria at this stage of the season and will not affect their performance once planted.
