Convallaria majalis ‘Hofheim’ is a rare form of the classic lily-of-the-valley with the typical waxy, fragrant, bell-shaped flowers held above gold to light green edged leaves, sometimes with extra stripes further into the leaf blade. The foliage provides interest long after the flowers have finished. Lily-of-the-valley’s spreading habit makes it a useful ground cover under deciduous trees or in areas with partial sun or shade. The fragrance is a classic for the spring garden.
