This extra special 'Pink' variety of Lily of the Valley is blessed with masses of tiny pale pink, bell-shaped flowers that possess a sweet and intoxicating scent in late spring.
A cottage garden staple, the perfumed bell-flowers of Lily of the Valley, also known as Convallaria majalis, open in April and May and are a welcome addition to a border or pot. Spreading via a network of underground roots, the spring shoots are referred to as 'pips' and sit just beneath the surface of the soil before bursting into bloom.
Perfect for dappled shade, Lily of the Valley makes a good groundcover plant, naturalising happily and brightening gloomy gardens, and even better, it makes a great cutflower to bring into your home.
Rising up to 20cm on arching stems, which contrast spectacularly with clumps of dark green foliage, this hardy perennial will perform best in moist soil. This plant is ideal for shining light into a shaded border and will spread happily to make a perfumed carpet of colour under trees and shrubs.
Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, ready for immediate planting.
Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
