Convallaria majalis

A favorite of Christian Dior, lily of the valley produces a fragrance that epitomizes the spring season. With its white, bell-shaped flowers hanging daintily above the foliage, it looks as beautiful as it smells. The plant is an herbaceous perennial that spreads by underground rhizomes to form large colonies. Grow in a shady part of the garden, in a natural woodland setting, or in pots.
