    A rarely seen form of lily-of-the-valley with pale pink flowers, it is an excellent choice for a woodland garden or the front of an unstructured border where it will spread to form a naturalised carpet. The flowers have a delicious scent, so plant them next to an entrance or path. Alternatively, they make excellent cut flowers, so they can be used to fill your home with their perfume. They will thrive in full sun or partial shade, provided there is adequate moisture, but their seeds may cause a mild stomach upset if ingested.

  • Garden care: Divide and replant congested colonies in September, applying a generous mulch of composted leaf mould around the base of the plant.
