Lily-of-the-Valley 
(Convallaria) 
(German grown pips) 
Outdoor Culture: The Lily-of-the-Valley is primarily a 
shade plant. It can be made to grow in the open, will do 
fairly well in ground shaded for part of the day, but lux- 
uriates best in places under the shade of trees. The pips 
should be planted 3 to 4 inches apart and about 1% in. 
deep in good rich garden soil. Such a bed, top-dressed in 
the late fall with well-rotted manure will do very well. 
Indoor Culture: To grow Lily-of-the-Valley successfully 
indoors, they should be planted in pots or boxes, about | in. 
apart, leaving the crown exposed above the soil, do not press 
the soil too tight between and about the roots. To start off 
they like a bottom-heat of 65°—75° and the soil should be 
kept moist. Keep the crowns shaded from the light, until 
the spikes are 5-6 in. high, when they can be placed in full 
light (never direct sun-light).
