Lily of the valley

Question

I have just purchased 6 potted Lily of the valley, which are just showing tiny white flower buds. Can I plant them in my garden now or do I have to wait until the flowers have bloomed and died before I plant them out? Best wishes Ann Tamplin

Answer 1

You didn't say where you live, but Lily of the Valley is pretty hardy. It will tolerate the cold, but you may want to introduce it to outside conditions slowly (over a few days) by putting it out in a partly shady part of the yard during the day and bringing it in at night. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/lily-of-the-valley/growing-lily-of-the-valley.htm
