Convallaria majalis
Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley is an old-fashioned perennial that looks so delicate but this hardy shade lover is anything but delicate! Lily of the Valley is a tough-as-nails perennial that can grow in the deep shade of large trees and shrubs. Lily of the Valley can spread quickly by underground stems called rhizomes. Although each plant only has two or three wide and glossy leaves, it makes a beautiful ground cover in masses. Fragrant, small white bell shaped flowers appear in mid to late spring.
