CHUXAY GARDEN White Convallaria Majalis Seed 50 Seeds Lovely White Flowers Lily of The Valley Flowering Plant Native Wildflower Extremely Decorative

Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis) is not a true lily; it's actually part of the asparagus family, though its foliage is reminiscent of some lilies. Medium green leaves about 5 to 10 inches long and 1 to 3 inches wide arch from the center of a clump. Petite, fragrant, white flowers rise on long stems from the leaf clumps in spring, and orange-red berries appear later in the fall if different varieties are planted for cross-pollination. Don't let the delicate appearance of lily of the valley's bell-shaped flowers fool you. This is a hardy ground cover that spreads gradually but persistently to form dense colonies. Lily of the valley can be planted by root divisions, potted nursery plants, or seeds in the fall, though spring planting is also acceptable. It is considered invasive in much of the Midwest and Northeast, where planting it may be strongly discouraged or even outlawed. Be aware that lily of the valley is toxic to humans, as well as to dogs, cats, and horses.
