I just love these petite flowers against the green leafy palette of leaves. I look forward to them every spring! This old fashioned perennial with it's delicate blooms never goes out of style, but when it comes to hardiness, there is nothing delicate about this shade-lover. Lily-of-the-Valley (Convallaria majalis) is a tough-as-nails perennial that will keep going after many others fail to thrive.
It is one of the few perennials that can grow in the deep shade of large trees and shrubs. Lily-of-the-Valley also makes a good choice in small contained spaces. In areas where temperatures remain cooler in summer, it can even take full sun. This hardy perennial isn't very particular about the soil it's planted in either.

Lily-of-the-Valley can spread quickly by underground stems called rhizomes. Although each plant only has two or three wide and glossy leaves, it makes a beautiful ground cover in masses.

I lost my lily of the valley to an over eager young man who was doing some yard work and thought that he knew what he was doing. I did not know you cold grow them seed, I thought you had to have the plants.

Not all lily of the valley plants produce seeds. Some are sterile, so to speak, you need to have plants from more than one source & then they will more likely produce pods that turn orange in fall. Mine get a lot, some years more than others. I think it depends o the weather. I do not need the seed as mine are so thick that I have to thin them. So I share. They have to be left on the plant to dry though. So I Allow pods to dry on plant; leave them on the plant until a few days before the auction ends, break open to collect seeds, send & once they arrive they need to be planted into a pot indoors with a few days or even that day. When frost danger is past then they can be transplanted outside, once the seedling plant is up in the pot.
I cannot stress this point enough though....Seed does not store well; sow as soon as possible. This is how they can be plated from seed.
