I planted lily of the valley in mid-April. They did not come up. Will they come next year?

Question

I fertilized and have kept watered, but nothing came up and the bulbs all had some growth on them. Will they come next spring or are they through?

Answer 1

Lily of the valley should be planted in late fall. They need the cold dormancy period. There is a good chance it will grow and bloom next spring. Just follow its cultural needs as outlined below:
