Lily of the Valley will capture your heart the first time you see it bloom in spring. The small white cupped blooms are bell-shaped and hang their heads in the sweetest fashion, almost like snowdrops with a lush background of green foliage. They love shade which makes them ideal for many settings: a porch container, a ground cover near the tree-line, along a walkway, and others. This groundcover is reliable, lovely, incredibly fragrant, and a must-grow!
