Convallaria will thrive and multiply happily in a semi-shaded location, with well-drained soil which remains slightly moist at all times.

Although September and October are optimum planting months, Lily of the Valley may be planted at any time of year, providing the ground is not frozen.

Soak the roots before planting 5cm deep and 15cm apart in the soil.

Ensure consistent moisture, especially after planting.  Prefers sandy soil which is slightly acidic.

During the first year, few flowers may be produced during a settling in period.  Once established, expect a profusion of highly perfumed charming white bells on stems 20-30cm tall.
