Convallaria Berlin Giant
M6131
Description
Queen Elizabeth II named Lily of the Valley as her favourite flower – the beautiful, pearl-like ivory bells have featured heavily in royal wedding bouquets, signifying love and fidelity. The distinctive, heady aroma of these humble blooms is often used in luxury perfumes.
Convallaria ‘Berlin Giant’ is an improved strain, with larger blooms and taller stems than the standard varieties, earning itself an RHS Award of Garden Merit. Lily of the Valley pips will quickly naturalise into impressive drifts in the right setting, thriving in shady woodland environments.
The elongated stems of Convallaria ‘Berlin Giant’ make it the ultimate cut flower to fill your home with fragrance.
Care Guide
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.

Mixed
M7504
A stunning, tonal mix of Amarines, designed to enliven autumn gardens and boost potted displays with an injection of pretty colour.
Tall, slender stems produce sprays of refined lily-like flowers in a palette of pinks, from soft blush to bright magenta. Fabulous for cutting, Amarine 'Mixture' with its fine, star-shaped flowers bring a whimsical look to seasonal arrangements.
Thanks to clever cross-breeding, Amarines have been developed by pairing much-loved Nerines and dramatic Amaryllis and have acquired the best attributes from both parents – floral abundance, height and great hardiness.

Sunfield
M5076
Large, spherical heads of cobalt-blue make Agapanthus ‘Sunfield’ a spectacular South African lily for the garden, and for cutting. Flowering for several weeks during July and August, this floriferous late-summer perennial is a true garden gem.
Excellent for adding structure, height and colour to garden borders, the blooms of Agapanthus ‘Sunfield’ are also exceptionally pretty up close, with dark-blue buds and striped, trumpet-like flowers. One of the largest agapanthus.
Great for large feature pots and mixed herbaceous borders, in modern and traditional gardens.
