Is there anything so sweet as a shady spot ground-covered in lily-of-the-valley with its softly wafting fragrance... maybe that spot covered with double-flowered ?lilies?!; a lovely rhizomatous woodlander. PS-Sh/M
Langhammer brought us this long ago, we offered it once and it was so popular that it has taken us years to build back stock. The double flowered version is much slower to multiply than the single forms. I understand that there are gold edged and silver edged variegated forms in cultivation, if you grow either of these let us know, as for the streaky variegated form it just looks sickly and has nowhere near the charm of the double clone.____ZONE 4
Has double, spherical bell-shaped flowers with that world-famous fragrance. Needs room to spread and grows in most soils.
