Convallaria majalis 'Golden Slippers' | Golden Slippers Lily-of-the-Valley

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Convallaria majalis 'Golden Slippers' produces fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers in mid to late spring, dangling gracefully along arching stems and filling the garden with a sweet perfume. Broad, lance-shaped leaves emerge bright golden yellow and gradually soften to chartreuse as the season progresses. The flowers are nestled among the foliage, while the spreading habit creates dense colonies that provide lasting seasonal interest.

Originating from a species native to Europe and Asia, this cultivar reflects garden selection focused on ornamental foliage color and spring bloom. It is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized plantings, where its colorful leaves and fragrant flowers bring texture and brightness to sheltered spaces.
