Few plants conjure the same romantic charm as Convallaria majalis, better known as Lily of the Valley. With its dainty, bell-shaped white flowers and rich, unmistakable perfume, it has long been treasured in gardens and bouquets alike. These autumn-planted rhizomes are best nestled into cool, shaded spots where their lush green leaves will flourish, and their nodding blooms will reappear each spring with minimal fuss. Once established, Convallaria spreads gently to form elegant drifts, offering decades of beauty and fragrance in return for very little care.
