Convallaria majalis 'Prolificans' | Prolificans Lily of the Valley

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Convallaria majalis ‘Prolificans’ produces arching stems lined with lush green, lance-shaped leaves that form a dense, spreading ground layer. In late spring, the plant bears clusters of fully double, bell-shaped white flowers with layered petals that give each bloom a softly ruffled appearance. The blossoms are carried along gently curving stems and release a sweet, familiar fragrance.

Blooming in mid to late spring, this cultivated form originated as a European garden selection. It is well suited to shaded borders, woodland gardens, and naturalized plantings, where its dense foliage and ornamental flowers create a refined carpet beneath trees and shrubs.
