Description

It may look delicate with its airy clusters of bell-shaped soft pink blooms that dangle on thin stems above the foliage, but this Lily-of-the-Valley is a tough and dependable addition to any shady space when it will gradually spread to form a colony. The wonderfully fragrant flowers appear from early to late spring then giving way to orange berries that keep the show going in summer. Ideal as an accent in small garden spaces or in groupings or as a naturalizing groundcover in shady sites, under trees or in woodland areas and rock gardens. If you really want to enjoy its delightful scent and charming flowers, cut a few stems and bring them indoors for display in your favorite vase.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing to maybe 8 inches tall with flower to 12 inches, and gradually spreading by underground roots to form a colony, Pink Lily of The Valley is ideal for use as an accent in small garden spaces or in groupings or as a naturalizing groundcover under trees or in woodland settings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, pink themed gardens, Zen gardens, Asian gardens, fragrance gardens, cutting flower gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 12 to 18 inches apart for groundcover

I ordered 5 quart pot size of Lily of the Valley. They were well-packed as usual and all plants were healthy. Even though all of them have only a few leaves, they were all well-rooted. A few more tiny leaves popped up after a week I planted them. Hopefully I will have a few flowers in the next spring. I definitely will buy more when it’s back in stock.———————————————————-We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!

I am more than pleased with the purchase of these beautiful plants. They were packed with all preparation taken to ensure they arrive in great condition. I have been pleased with every purchase I have made from Wilson Brothers. I just wish they still had their nursery open to the public and not strictly online.————————————————We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the kind words and great review! We hate that we had to close to the public too! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG
