Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Convallaria majalis is a popular spring shade plant. 'Hardwick Hall' offers a little more than the quintessential waxy, fragrant, bell-shaped flowers. The foliage has light green to yellow edges providing interest long after the flowers have finished. Lily-of-the-valley’s spreading habit makes it a useful ground cover under deciduous trees or in areas with partial sun or shade. The fragrance is a classic for the spring garden.

A stand-out in more than one way; larger in all parts, including the intensely fragrant flowers. The leaves are more or less glaucous (depending on conditions) and edged in gold. Grows as easely in any soil as the regular Lily-of-the-Valley.
