About this perennial

Convallaria Majalis, known in English as Lily of the Valley, is a specialization of our nursery. 'Bordeaux' is the classic Convallaria variety with beautiful green leaves and bright white flowers. The plant blooms every other year and the delicate white flowers give off a wonderful scent. This perennial prefers shade and is particularly suitable for planting under a tree.

Sorting these plants is a trade in itself, a specialization that not many growers possess due to the labor-intensive process. Perhaps that's secretly why we are so fond of this beautiful native plant. The flower brings good luck, or as it is so beautifully said in French: 'Une porte de Bonheur'. In various French-speaking regions, the plant is given as a gift to loved ones on May 1st. Additionally, the flowers are widely used in perfumes and wedding bouquets.

CARE

Lily of the Valley is easy to care for when placed in the right spot in your garden with plenty of shade. As with most perennials, nutrient-rich, well-draining soil is important. Pay attention to these basics in your garden.

For the first few years, you will have flowers from the plant every other year, but as it spreads more throughout your garden and more plants form, you can expect annual flowers in the future.

The flowers will die back naturally, and you can leave them. Red berries will then form on the plant in late summer. In winter, the leaves will die back completely, and you can leave them or remove them.
SPOT IN THE GARDEN

The Convallaria is a poisonous plant, so be careful with young children and pets and place the plant in a clever spot in your garden. The plant easily spreads itself over a larger area in your garden, also known as a creeping plant. This way, the plant can effectively fill an empty spot in your garden over the years. If you prefer not to have this happen, place the plant in a pot outdoors in the shade. Even then, the plant will produce good flowers.
HOMEGROWN - ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY AND SUSTAINABLE

The plants from Kwekerij Jan (our own P9 nursery) are grown with great care. The plants are grown in organic soil and nourished without artificial fertilizers. We reuse rainwater that we have collected in our basin. We use pots made from recycled material. Every year we take steps towards more sustainable cultivation. By purchasing from our nursery, you support the development of our profession.
