Lily-of-the-Valley are known for their delicate bell-shaped, fragrant white flowers growing on a stalk between two shiny leaves. It is perfect for a sweet little vase in the kitchen or the office. In cool climates it is invasive and spreads slowly until it reaches some kind of barrier to make a lovely carpet. It loves a cold winter and can last centuries. They are maintenance-free except for an occasional mulch.

Answer:

Answer:
these guys spread like crazy!!!! I am actually giving a pot of them to teachers as gifts. they are so pretty and if they want they can plant or toss them. either way I get rid of them. Deer do not like them. I lined my back 40 garden with them to help get animals at bay. It's been raining so they havn't bloomed yet but I will take pic of them.
If anyone wants some, let me know. I have shipped them b4.
