Detailed Description

Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) is a beloved classic in cottage and woodland gardens, prized for its strong fragrance and charming white blooms. Taylors’ 12 rhizomes offer a simple way to establish a dense carpet of flowers that thrive in shaded areas and damp soil conditions. As an RHS Award winner, this variety is recognised for its quality and garden reliability.

Planting in either autumn or spring, these rhizomes quickly establish and spread to form lush clumps. The plant’s low height of approximately 15cm (6 inches) makes it ideal for edging paths, under trees, or in shaded borders where other plants may struggle. The sweet, heady scent of Lily of the Valley makes it particularly popular for cut flower bouquets, bringing a classic fragrance indoors.
