Special Features | Dramatic Foliage Color, Compact Form |
Problems/Solutions | Deer Resistant |
Growth Rate | Slow |
Flower Attributes | Showy Flowers |
Landscape Use | Border, Container |
Design Ideas | This is the perfect Lily of the Valley for very small gardens and will make a great spring flower show in narrow borders and pocket beds. Plant as a single, or mass in irregular groups around landscape boulders. Use as a backdrop for small water gardens and fountains. Excellent foundation plant that won't overgrow small patio gardens. Just as useful in the large woodland garden, where it remains low enough to preserve the sense of space. |
Flower Color | White |
Foliage Color | Dark Green |
Companion Plants | Oregon Grape Holly (Mahonia); Camellia (Camellia); Rhododendron (Rhododendron); Holly (Ilex); Mountain Laurel (Kalmia) |
Care Instructions | Provide organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil, with protection from harsh winds. Thrives in dappled shade. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom. |
