Convallaria majalis, or Lily of the Valley, is a charming rhizomatous perennial that forms dense, weed-suppressing colonies in shaded areas. Reaching up to twelve inches tall, it features pairs of lush, elliptic green leaves that frame nodding, bell-shaped white flowers. These blooms are celebrated for their intense, sweet fragrance in mid-spring. Ideal for woodland or cottage gardens, it thrives in moist, humus-rich soil and partial to full shade, even tolerating clay or dry spells.
