Votaniki Improved White Lily of The Valley – Fragrant Blooms, Lily of The Valley (Convallaria majalis ‘Bordeaux’) Bare Root for Planting | Perennial Spring Flower – Easy to Grow

Description

Lily Of the Valley: An improved version of an old-fashioned favorite Lily Of The Valley, Bordeaux, Convallaria, produces pure white, larger bell-shaped flowers on stems that are held above the foliage as opposed to between the leaves. Each stem bears an average of 8-12 bells compared with 6-8 bells on C. majalis. The tulip-like foliage is a darker green and more rounded. The flowers of Bordeaux appear in spring and last for several weeks. These blossoms are very fragrant; they are even used in making perfume! Tiny orange berries follow the flowers. The fragrant blooms of the Improved White Lily of the Valley act as a magnet for pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to the biodiversity of the garden. The Improved White Lily of the Valley seamlessly complements a variety of garden companions. Consider pairing it with shade-loving perennials like hostas, ferns, or bleeding hearts for a harmonious woodland garden theme. Additionally, its delicate appearance contrasts beautifully with bolder foliage and flowering plants, creating eye-catching arrangements. Despite the dainty appearance of the blossoms, Convallaria is actually a tough, vigorous groundcover. Use it to cover slopes and riverbanks or in shady woodland sites, even under trees. Lily of the Valley grows best in woodland-like conditions: fertile, humus-rich, moist soil and partial to full shade. It will, however, grow in full sun in northern regions if the soil remains moist. Be careful when siting this plant--though it may take a while to get started, this plant will spread rapidly, forming a dense, weed-smothering ground cover.
