Lilly of Valley, what now ?

Hi alll, me again.

I have also received 25 of these.



Do I seperate them out and completely bury them ?
Or Leave the bud proud ?
Are they fully hardy or do they need overwintering

:confused:

Thanks in advance

 

Fastboy,

So it was you that dug up my garden then eh :D

Personally I would have the buds just below soil level, frost and all that but ask Woo or Pete, they know loads :D

 

Lily of the valley is gorgeous Fastboy. Paula is right. Bury them completely at this time of year. And they are fully hardy. But plant them somewhere sheltered where even in summer they will be in partial shade and moist. If you can't handle them just send them to me. I am looking to increase my stock quickly. :D :D

 

Careful where you plant them Fastboy my experience with Lily of the Valley is being overrun with them after 1/2 years - they have a bad habit of creeping along under the surface and popping up anywhere they feel like - lovely scented plant, but!

 

OK lily of the valley.. I have tried these in my garden,so many times,but have never seen them the following year,why do they disappear. even potted up one year and planted them in early spring,and still they vanished.
