More Information About Convallaria

The genus Convallaria contains 1-3 species, depending on your taxonomist, but don't ask me what family it is in as there is also little agreement on that. Some taxonomists put Convallaria in Liliaceae, others put it in the eponymous Convallariaceae, still others put it in Asparagaceae, and some put it into Ruscaceae. Convallaria is native to northern areas of Europe and Asia, but is grown in gardens worldwide.

Convallaria plants are well-known for producing a cluster of small, white, bell-shaped, fragrant flowers in spring. Cultivated varieties may have pink flowers, double flowers, extra large flowers or variegated leaves.

In the language of flowers, convallaria signifies sweetness, trustworthiness, and the return of happiness.

Convallaria prefers cool, shady, moist conditions and is adaptable to a wide variety of garden soil. It spreads via rhizomes to form extensive colonies when it is happy. It can be so prolific that in some gardens it may even be considered a weed...although what a charming little weed it is.
