Hi
Could anyone give me some advice on growing Lilly of the valley? When do i need to plant the bulbs? Do they grow happily in pots?
I am getting married next summer and i'd like to grow some for the table decorations?
Any advice would be great? any ideas on any beautiful flowering plants would be great
Thanks
Loo

lily if the valley can be grown in pots. They can be grown inside or outside, They should be planted in early Spring, January February, slugs like them as they emerge. They like good drainage but dont let them dry out in Summer. leave them undisturbed for a number of years. Not available at every garden centre.
