And remember they always travel north so do not plant them on a south facing
fence/wall.

Not sure I understand this - I'm about to plant some. Do you mean that
when they spread of their own accord that they tend to do so only
towards the north?

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?
