Lily of the Valley is best used as a groundcover in shaded areas. It boasts bright green leaves with the sweetest bell-shaped blooms in creamy white.

Lily of the Valley requires absolutely zero maintenance and is one of the most beautiful container plants. Place it with soft moss or other frilly fillers for a magical display.
