Convallaria majalis, or lily of the valley, is a shade-loving perennial known for its delicate, nodding white bell-shaped flowers and sweet fragrance. Blooming in spring, it thrives in partial to full shade and moist, well-drained soil, forming dense colonies over time. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, it is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and ground cover.

Planting: Plant rhizomes (pips) in early to mid-spring after the danger of frost has passed. Soak them in water for a few hours beforehand to rehydrate. Set each pip about ½ inch deep with the pointed bud facing up, spacing them 6 inches apart.
Location: Choose a cool, shaded to partially shaded site—ideal under deciduous trees or along north-facing walls.
Soil: Prefers organically rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Amend with compost if needed.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–8. Performs best in cool, temperate climates with mild summers.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support healthy foliage and flowering.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing leaves to tidy the plant. Cut back foliage in late fall if desired.
Propagation: Spreads by underground rhizomes. Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in spring or fall to control spread and rejuvenate growth.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Avoid overly wet conditions to prevent root rot.
