Over time, just a few plants will become a LUSH CARPET OF GREEN. From spring to fall, lily of the valley will keep landscaped areas looking neatly maintained with little or no attention. Suitable planting locations include shady or partly shady areas under trees or shrubs, steep banks and uneven terrain where it’s difficult to maneuver a lawn mower, and derelict areas where few other plants will grow.
