How to take care of Convallaria Majalis White

Plant Convallaria Majalis White beneath trees and shrubs. Convallaria Majalis White prefer a rich, moist soil but tolerate some dryness. Plant the crowns just below the surface. In autumn apply a top dressing consisting of compost, leaf mould or well-rotted manure plus a complete fertiliser, this will benefit the plant.

Water regularly. Once Convallaria Majalis White is established, leave alone until they begin to deteriorate from overcrowding, then divide clumps in autumn and replant at once. Attention: harmful if eaten, especially the berries! Soak the bare roots for 12-18 hours (do not exceed 24 hours).

This allows them to take up the maximum amount of water without doing any injury to the plant.
