Lily of the Valley Plant

Fragrant Pick for Shady Spots

White flowers bloom in mid spring
Excellent cut flower
Vigorous ground cover for shade
Grows 6-12 in. tall
Deer-resistant perennial

Traditional favorite to tuck into wedding bouquets! Lily of the Valley forms a fast-spreading carpet of graceful, 8-in. leaves. In mid spring, it bursts into a sweet-smelling shower of tiny bell flowers that are excellent for cutting. Growing 6-12 in. tall, Lily of the Valley is a popular ground cover for shaded areas. This deer-resistant perennial multiplies from underground stems, and in some parts of the country is considered invasive. For best results, plant in full shade to partial shade. Zones 3-9.
