Why Choose Lily of the Valley?

Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) is an enduring favourite thanks to its understated grace, adaptability, and low-maintenance nature. This perennial thrives in partial to deep shade and prefers fertile, moist soils, making it perfect for planting beneath established trees or in those cooler, darker garden corners. Each spring, dainty sprays of intensely fragrant, waxy flowers emerge above lush green foliage, creating a carpet of white that can last for weeks. Aside from its ornamental value, lily of the valley is also deer resistant and seldom troubled by pests, so you can enjoy its beauty with minimal fuss.

Planting and Care Tips

Getting lily of the valley established is simple. Plant rhizomes in autumn or early spring, spacing them about 15cm apart to allow for spreading. As lily of the valley is a natural ground cover, it will gradually form attractive masses over time with very little encouragement. Keep the soil consistently moist in warmer months, add mulch to retain moisture, and trim spent flowers after blooming to keep the plants tidy. Regular dividing every few years encourages vigorous growth and prevents overcrowding.

Create a Shaded Garden Sanctuary

Lily of the valley pairs beautifully with a variety of shade-loving perennials. If you love rare colours, consider mixing in the subtle pink blooms of Convallaria majalis Rosea. For more textural contrast, the bold foliage of Heuchera Fire Alarm (Coral Bells) makes a striking companion. If your garden gets partial sun, add pops of colour with hardy plants such as Sedum 'Bertram Anderson' (Black-Leaf Stonecrop) or the bright flowers of Arctotis 'Magenta Wine' (African Daisy).
