Convallaria majalis 'Albostriata'

Plant out container grown seedlings or plants in fertile compost rich soil in a shaded position in early to mid spring.

Propagate by division in late summer to early autumn. Lift a clump of the plants, separate them, and replant immediately.

Spikes of white nodding, bell shaped fragrant flowers appear in mid spring to early summer.

Fill a seed tray, modular tray, or pot with seed compost (eg John Innes Seed compost), or use 50% multi-purpose compost mixed with 50% perlite or coarse grit, and firm it down. Water the compost, and let the surplus water drain out. Sow the seeds thinly, or sow one or two per module (depending on the size of the modules) Cover large seeds with sieved compost or vermiculite. Small seeds do not need covering and in fact some, such as Paulownia, need light in order to germinate, so are best left uncovered. Label with the date and type of seed sown.
