I've yet to get LotV to grow successfully in any garden I have
had
and by now, that's quite a few!
Thank goodness for that I thought it was just me.
Is it the variety? Lilly of the Valley grows as a weed in our garden and
is creeping across the gavel path
I doubt it, more likely the plant has some specific needs/wants that it
doesn't get in our garden. Not having to compete is one possibility.
very strong possibility I suspect. Ours is not doing well against
celandine, but it lovers all those bare bits under trees where nothing
else will grow.
Hmm, I wonder. Perhaps needs acid soil?
No - it grows on limestone pavements with very little soil cover.
