Convallaria majalis 'Rosea' Lily-of-the-Valley
The Convallaria majalis 'Rosea' Lily-of-the-Valley is a charming perennial ground cover, celebrated for its delicate, pale mauve-pink flowers that emit an intoxicating fragrance. It thrives in shady or partially shaded locations with humus-rich, well-drained soil. While it may take a few years to fully establish, this hardy plant spreads gracefully, offering attractive golden fall foliage and sometimes inedible orange berries. For best appearance, tattered leaves can be trimmed back at the end of the season. This deer-resistant variety is shipped as a bare root plant, ideal for spring planting.

What customers say
Customers highly value the unique, subtle pink hue of the 'Rosea' Lily-of-the-Valley, appreciating the quality of the robust pips upon arrival. The primary theme centers on patience regarding establishment. While initial quality is excellent, buyers frequently note that this specialized cultivar requires multiple seasons, sometimes two or three years, before blooming or spreading significantly. This slow growth rate often leads to disappointment for those seeking immediate results. Furthermore, some feel the premium price point is high given the delayed payoff. Ultimately, this is a high quality, rare specimen best suited for dedicated gardeners who understand its slow nature and are willing to invest time for its unique color.
