Convallaria Majalis Rosea (Lily of the Valley)
Convallaria majalis ‘Rosea’, commonly known as Lily of the Valley ‘Rosea’, is a charming and unique variety of the classic Lily of the Valley. Unlike the traditional white-flowered types, ‘Rosea’ features delicate, pale pink bell-shaped blooms that offer a subtle twist to the typical spring display. These fragrant flowers bloom in late spring, providing a soft splash of color and a sweet, captivating scent that is perfect for shaded or partially shaded garden areas. This perennial thrives in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 7 and prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It is ideal for woodland gardens, shaded borders, or as a lovely ground cover beneath trees and shrubs. Once established, ‘Rosea’ spreads steadily, creating a dense carpet of green foliage and pretty pink blooms. While ‘Rosea’ is known for its lovely appearance and enchanting fragrance, it is important to note that all parts of this plant are toxic if ingested. Care should be taken when planting in areas accessible to pets or children. Convallaria majalis ‘Rosea’ is a beautiful way to bring a touch of elegance and color to shaded parts of the garden.
