| These Lily Of The Valley are in our
perennial garden in middle Tennessee. They were transplants from my
grandmothers garden in Illinois. She has hundreds of them
growing filling in one small flower bed behind her house. They seemed
to transplant fairly easily. I just dug up 3 small bunches of about
10 or so plants, roots and a small dirt ball around the root system.
This year they seem to be spreading some, and lots of blooms. The
flowers of the Convallaria majalis are small, fragrant white bells
about 1/4" in diameter. The flowering stems have anywhere from 5 to
15 flowers.
Lily Of The Valley is native throughout the Northern
Hemisphere in Asia and Europe. There are also wild plants found in
the eastern United States, but there is some debate as to whether
they are true native, or early transplants that thrived in there new
surroundings.
