Convallaria Majalis Variegated
In stock
Description
The beautiful, incredibly sweetly-perfumed lily-of-the-valley needs little description. But the variegated-leafed form is absolutely magnificent. The bright green leaves are deeply slashed and striped with cream, making them even lovelier. Plants take years before they are old enough to set good seeds and then only very few are ever produced, and seedlings in our experience give a variable proportion of variegation. But you may also get a prizewinner! The odd one may come up completely green, but you will be able to select the best forms to propagate from.
Sowing Advice
Sow seeds at any time, covering them very thinly, keeping the seed pot in a cool, well-lit spot outdoors. Artificial heat is NOT needed and can prevent germination. Be very patient as seeds will usually only germinate in the spring after chilling or freezing in the moist seed pot in the winter. These fresh seeds are normally very slow indeed to come up so please keep the pot safely.
