Lily of the Valley

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.
