I am Lily of the Valley. My family originated from Eastern USA
| I am a charming and elegant slow growing evergreen shrub.
My new growth is a bronze-red colour, turning to an attractive glossy dark green when older. I produce massive clusters of light pink buds open to sprays of pink to white bell shaped flowers in winter to spring which are a popular inclusion in wedding bouquets. I do best in cooler corners and very happy in the shade. |
