Lily of the Valley, also known as May Bells, Mary’s Tears, and Our Lady’s Tears, is a woodland plant with attractive green foliage and tiny, bell-shaped, white or pink flowers. It blooms from July through October, depending on St. Louis weather, but their care begins long before that. In January, seeds of Victoria lilies are sown in pots of soil.
Lily of the Valley plants bloom for three or four weeks beginning in mid-spring, and if grown indoors, it can bloom out of season. It is a popular choice for the early spring landscape and is one of the most fragrant blooming plants in the spring and early summer throughout the northern temperate zone. The plant typically blooms for about four weeks during mid-spring to early summer, depending on your hardiness.
Convallaria majalis var. rosea has pink flowers, which are less fragrant than the annuals. Annuals are worth the fuss because they produce extraordinary, bright, showy flowers for several months and bloom much longer than perennials do. Planted in spring, they will produce new leaves and flowers each spring and generally flower from May through early October in St. Louis.
In summary, Lily of the Valley is a popular choice for the early spring landscape and is a low-maintenance ground cover that can be grown in average soil. Its fragrant flowers and easy-to-grow nature make it an excellent choice for the shade garden.
