Description

Other names of Lily of Valley include May bells, Our Lady’s tears, and Mary’s tears, it is widely grown in gardens for its scented flowers and ground-covering abilities in shady locations with moist soils, producing a perfumed carpet of colour and green foliage. Really a great plant if you’re looking to brighten a have a gloomy garden with unique bell-shaped flowers.

Best planted in late spring around mid-may into a good planting mixture in a dappled shade location. Avoid wet soil that doesn’t drain as this moisture-loving plant is susceptible to root rot, otherwise a great garden performer!

In 1956, the French firm Dior produced a fragrance simulating lily of the valley, which was Christian Dior’s favourite flower. Diorissimo was designed by Edmond Roudnitska. Although it has since been reformulated, it is considered a classic.
