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.
