Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A very appealing old-fashioned favorite in a very pretty dusty-pink form, mix the satiny green leaves of this exuberant spreader with ferns in the shade garden and enjoy its stalks of deliciously fragrant nodding pink bells in spring. PSh-Sh/M
These flowering-size pips bloom in soft pink, while infusing the air with the same fresh perfume you love from classic white lily of the valley. Recently developed and grown by only a handful of flower farmers, the pink pips are admittedly a bit pricey. A gardening friend shared a trick - plant both white and pink. The white stretches your dollar and the pink provides a delightful accent. Both can move into the landscape after providing a much needed spring-pick-me-up indoors.

Sweet. Charming pink form of an old fashioned standby. Nice spreader for the shade garden and quite drought tolerant when established.
The pink form of the sweetly scented Lily of the Valley. Spreading perennial bulb so keep that in mind when choosing a site for it.
