Lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis, bears arching racemes of bell-shaped, white flowers with an extremely rich fragrance, from late spring. Plants spread quickly in shady positions, making it an excellent choice for a woodland garden or shady borders.
'Hardwick Hall' bears deep green, lance-shaped foliage with irregular cream-white stripes around the leaf edge. The cream-white, bell-shaped flowers are larger than those of the standard Convallaria majalis. It works well when grown at the front of a shady border or beneath shrubs, and makes an excellent cut flower.
