They work best in shade in a damp situation either in the border or in a reasonably weed free bare patch in a woodland garden. Top dressing the clumps when dormant in the winter will both feed and protect the plants as well as encouraging the rhizomes to spread.  \nEach individual rhizome will produce a pair of basal leaves which will develop to being 6-8in tall. In March or April arching racemes of strongly scented bell shaped flowers appear to scent the garden.  \nIf you have a large clump of lily of the valley in your garden why not lift some rhizomes and pot them up so that they can perform in the house in flower and then be returned to the border after flowering.  \nOrdering small clumps of rhizomes with three to five leaf shoots from late autumn through to the spring from Burncoose can avoid the need for pots or expensive postage. However the more rare and choice varieties of lily of the valley which we offer are grown in pots are not sold bare root. These are C. majalis rosea with mauvish pink flowers and C. majalis‘Albostriata’ with leaves striped with creamy white bands.  \nLift rhizomes in late autumn from the main clump if you want to spread the plants elsewhere in your garden. They can be kept moist in the potting shed over winter and planted in the spring if need be.  \nLily of the valley'Albostriata'  \nLily of the valley 'Rosea'  \nLily of the valley'Albostriata'  \nLily of the valley 'Rosea'  \nLily of the valley'Albostriata'  \nLily of the valley 'Rosea'  \nLily of the valley and Spirea  \nLily of the valley and Epimedium  \nLily of the valley and Mukdenia  \nLily of the valley and Solomns  \nLily of the valley and Osmunda  \nBurncoose Nurseries: Gwennap, Redruth, Cornwall TR16 6BJ  \nTelephone: +44 (0) 1209 860316 Fax: +44 (0) 1209 860011 Email: [info@burncoose.co.uk](info@burncoose.co.uk)[ ](info@burncoose.co.uk)© Burncoose Nurseries 1997-2026","cbCaicsXyTojzftH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicsXyTojzftH","pdf",371328,"English","# Lily of the valley growing conditions\n## Plant development and flowering\n## Propagation and moving plants\n## Varieties and ordering info\n## Lifting and replanting schedule","[{\"question\":\"What growing conditions does Lily of the valley need?\",\"answer\":\"It performs best in shade in a damp situation, either along borders or in a weed-free bare patch in a woodland garden.\"},{\"question\":\"When do Lily of the valley leaves and flowers appear?\",\"answer\":\"Each rhizome produces basal leaves that reach about 6–8 inches tall, and in March or April arching racemes of strongly scented, bell-shaped flowers appear.\"},{\"question\":\"How can the plants be spread or moved to other parts of the garden?\",\"answer\":\"Lift rhizomes in late autumn from the main clump, keep them moist over winter in a potting shed, and plant in spring.
