Description
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.

Useful information
-
Soak your Convallaria 'Vivid Valleys' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.
Plant your "Mixed lily of the valley" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.
Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.
Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
