Lily Of The Valley - Description And Information

Convallaria Majalis grows mostly in woodland areas where it is cool. Some gardeners consider it to be the only species in the genus. Others acknowledge the other two commonly linked species in the genus.

C. Majalis is a perennial that is found in shade and partial shade. It often prefers moist areas such as woodlands and near marshes. This is the most commonly found type of Lily of the Valley around.

It blooms in the early spring and produces tiny sweet smelling blooms. The characteristic smell makes it easy to recognize in the wild. It can also spread quickly in areas where it is left undisturbed.

C. transcaucasica appears more compact than the other lily species. The bells are more pear shaped and can appear as a very pale pink. In the wild it can often be found growing near cyclamen plants.

C. keiskei is noted for being very similar to the other species. It attracts a large number of butterflies and bees every spring. It can also readily self pollinate, allowing it to rapidly spread.

Growing Conditions And Uses For Landscape Or Gardens

Full shade is often the preference of this delicate blooming flower. It is often planted under a tree to create a soft ground cover. It may also be planted along the edges of woodsy areas for cover.

Partial shade may also be used if there are no shady spots available. Others may choose to use full or partial sun spots in the garden. Some of the varieties may not perform as well in full sun locations.

When planted in a garden it is important to not over crowd plants. It will readily spread, so extra space should be taken into account. They may need to be thinned out if they begin to spread too thickly.
