Convallaria

Common Name: Lily of the Valley

One of the most common of old-fashioned perennials, and a favorite for growing as a ground cover in shady areas. Blooms for a short period in early spring, sending up arching stems that bear small, nodding, sweetly scented, waxy white fragrant bells along one side. Broad, glossy green, deciduous leaves are attractive throughout growing season. Bright red berries (poisonous, like the rest of the plant) may appear in fall.

Plant Care: Divide into single crowns in early fall. Division seldom is needed and only after flowering deteriorates. Can be quite invasive.
