Lily of the Valley
Convallaria majalis
 
Fragrant, timeless, and effortlessly elegant, Lily of the Valley is a classic woodland perennial prized for its delicate arching stems of pure white, bell-shaped flowers. Blooming in mid to late spring, these dainty blossoms emit a sweet, unforgettable scent that has made the plant a favorite in gardens and floral arrangements for generations.
 
Its lush green, lance-shaped foliage forms a dense groundcover that thrives in shady conditions, making it ideal for planting beneath trees, along shaded paths, or in naturalized areas. Once established, Lily of the Valley spreads readily to form a beautiful carpet of greenery and blooms—perfect for bringing life and fragrance to low-light spaces.
 
Hardy and low maintenance, this plant is deer-resistant, drought-tolerant once established, and grows well in a variety of soil types. Though charming in appearance, it’s worth noting that all parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
 
Add a touch of vintage beauty and lush groundcover to your shade garden with Lily of the Valley—a beloved classic that brings elegance and perfume to the spring landscape.
