Convallaria majalis leafpip - 2026

Convallaria majalis 'Leafpip' is a cultivar of the classic Lily of the Valley, distinguished by its early spring growth habit. This cultivar produces the same fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers typical of the species, but it blooms earlier in the season, often in April, providing an earlier burst of spring fragrance. The plant forms a dense, mat-forming habit with dark green, lance-shaped leaves that provide a lush ground cover. Its spreading nature allows it to effectively suppress weeds while enhancing the aesthetic appeal of shaded areas.

'Leafpip' thrives in moist, well-drained soils and prefers partial to full shade. Its low-maintenance nature and hardiness make it a reliable choice for shaded borders, woodland edges, or planting under trees. Regular removal of spent flowers can help maintain a tidy appearance and encourage further blooming. With its vibrant flowers and attractive foliage, 'Leafpip' adds both beauty and ecological value to the garden.
