Convallaria majalis 'Albostriata'

Convallaria majalis

Lily of the valley, Convallaria majalis, bears arching racemes of bell-shaped, white flowers with an extremely rich perfume, from late spring. Plants spread quickly in shady positions, making it an excellent choice for a woodland garden or shady borders.

Convallaria majalis 'Albostriata' is a variegated lily of the valley, with cream-striped leaves and cream-white flowers. Most variegated cultivars revert to plain leaves within a few years, but 'Albostriata' is less likely to do so. Plants don't spread as readily as other varieties, making it a good choice for small gardens. It works well when grown at the front of a shady border or beneath shrubs, and works very well in a vase.
