Lily of the Valley
Could someone please advise me when is the best time to plant Lily of the
Valley? I believed that it would be about now. However, I am unable to find any bulbs in any of the local garden centres. Is there a mail order supplier who can supply these? |

Yes. Mine has colonised a shaded bed and I treat it half like a weed. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

The message
from Lee and Kath contains these words: Ditto! I have tried all sorts of things to make mine thrive. I still only have 3 measly plants. What soil do they like? Damp, shaded clay with an overlay of lefmould - and they go wild. -- Rusty Hinge horrid·squeak&zetnet·co·uk http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/tqt.htm |

Damp clay, if Leeds is anything to go by. And shade.

Mine is on such soil, but the area is wet in winter and spring. Like many bulbs, lily of the valley doesn't mind drying out in summer and autumn. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
