Convallaria majalis 'Pottsdam Stripe'

Lily-of-the-Valley

Plant Type:

SHADE PERENNIALS

Convallaria majalis 'Pottsdam Stripe' – A stable and more pronounced striped selection than 'Striata' which is also exceptional. Collected by Eduard Hachunda in the woods at Potsdam Great Park. Typical fresh, white and deliciously fragrant bells in mid-spring always take me back to Easters as a child; that and the tacky colored plastic tinsel-y Easter "grass". Sometimes it's hell living in my head... All Lily-of-the-Valley are deer proof. Fertile soil in part sun to full shade. Established potted perennial from division.
