Who doesn't love Lily-of-the-Valley? Each delicate arching stem carries a ladder of snow-white, bell-shaped blooms that have the most exotic and powerful fragrance. These white flowers are set against of a background of lush green foliage. And, once established in your garden – in the ground or in pots — Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) requires little maintenance and makes superb ground-cover for damp or shady areas, or for woodland gardens. Don't forget, too, that these exquisite blooms make a wonderful cut flower for scented, springtime posies!

We are now offering pre-chilled large Lily-of-the-Valley 'forcing pips', which will flower in their first year after planting. They can be planted in pots to keep indoors: the growth will come sooner (flowers may appear in 4-8 weeks, depending on the temperature of your home). No artificial lighting is required. They will give a beautiful display, and fill your rooms with the best of fragrances. After flowering, these indoor Lilies-of-the-Valley can be planted outdoors to give pleasure year-after-year.

Or, these large forcing pips can be planted straight out into the garden soil, set at a depth of 3 cm / 1½", and about 15 cm / 6" apart.
