They don't like hot, dry or sunny conditions during their growing season
(spring and early summer). They prefer half shade to full, light shade.
Much like bluebells.
I have some Lily-of-the Valley growing in quite dense shade. They are
spreading happily but not flowering. Is this is likely to be lack of
light?
