Convallaria
'Vivid Valleys'
mixed lilies of the valley
Convallaria 'Vivid Valleys' is a charming fusion of two timeless favourites—Convallaria majalis, the classic white lily of the valley, and Convallaria majalis var. rosea, a rare pink form. This enchanting blend brings a soft contrast to shaded borders and woodland gardens, with dainty, bell-shaped flowers nodding gracefully above fresh green foliage. Blooming in late spring, Convallaria 'Vivid Valleys' offers a beautifully scented display, filling the air with its delicate, nostalgic fragrance. It’s perfect for naturalising, gently spreading over time to create a lush, flower-filled ground cover that thrives in dappled shade.
There’s something effortlessly romantic about Convallaria 'Vivid Valleys'. The combination of pure white and blush pink blooms adds a touch of whimsy to any planting scheme, making it a favourite for those who appreciate subtle elegance. Whether brightening a woodland path, softening a shaded border, or bringing a scented flourish to a cottage garden, this Convallaria mix is as low-maintenance as it is beautiful. Year after year, the delicate bells will return, a quiet reminder of nature’s enduring charm. For those who love a classic with a twist, this unique blend of lily of the valley is a perfect way to celebrate both tradition and surprise in one effortlessly graceful planting.

Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
