Why Plant Convallaria majalis (Lily of the Valley)?

Lily of the Valley is beloved for its delicate white blooms and intoxicating perfume. Flowering in late spring, each arching stem is studded with tiny, crisp bells. Convallaria majalis thrives in cool, shaded parts of your garden—ideal for planting beneath deciduous trees or along south-facing walls. Once established, it forms dense, low-growing colonies, suppressing weeds and offering year-round interest with its lush green leaves. For New Zealand gardeners, Lily of the Valley is frost-hardy and robust—perfect for bringing a vintage charm and classic elegance to your outdoor space.

How to Grow and Care for Lily of the Valley in NZ

Choosing to buy Lily of the Valley NZ gives you a reliable, resilient plant for difficult shady areas. When planting, pick a moist, humus-rich spot out of direct sunlight. Enrich your soil with compost, water in thoroughly, and mulch to conserve moisture. Convallaria majalis will gradually spread, so give it room for gentle naturalisation. Each spring, enjoy fragrant cut stems in posies while the plant quietly multiplies for years to come.

Lily of the Valley pairs beautifully with other shade-loving perennials like Tiarella Pink Skyrocket. Or, for a bold colour contrast in neighbouring beds, consider companioning with Euphorbia Baby Charm or the luminous Canna 'Tropical Red'.

Expand your spring perennial collection with cheerful Alstroemeria Inca Sweety (Peruvian Lily) or Hemerocallis Siloam Little Girl (Siloam Daylily), both ideal for creating a succession of blooms as the season unfolds.
