Pink Lily of the Valley is a charming, spreading ground cover, with stems of sweetly fragrant bell-shaped flowers enveloped by glossy green leaves. Convallaria majalis 'Rosea' produces unique soft pink flowers. It is an early bloomer, growing happily in partial to full shade. While willing to grow in greater sun, the flower colour will fade. Bears a red berry.

Pink Lily of the Valley is a really wonderful naturalizing plant for woodlands gardens, and those shady, low maintenance areas of the garden. Great in planters, and a perennial favourite in wedding bouquets. Lily of the Valley is used as a food plant by the larvae of Lepidoptera moths and butterfly species, and is deer tolerant. All parts of the plant are toxic to animals.
