Your ones look so much better! Mine has two miserable tiny leaves. I think I've figure it out that I have been watering it too much. My dad's lily of the valleys were in a very dry soil and they were all about to flower. Will have to get more next year and try again 😥

@ublaszko these are the only ones looking good but no signs of flowers ☹️ maybe that’s what it is, I barely ever water these as they’re in shade

I must try that. I'm the queen of overwatering 😂

@ublaszko oh me too but after so many failed attempts at growing them I try any and everything 😂 your tip to keep them out of the elements definitely helped 👍🏻
Finally going to get a flower 🤩 #lily-of-the-valley #convallaria-majalis
That’s exciting Kerry, don’t forget to have a sniff 👍🏼
They are going to smell so divine. Love these. 🤍🤍
Hi Kerry, they’ll smell heavenly. Are they relatively easy to grow and get established? 🤔 @kez001uk
@sieveheadsarah @hkyfvr don’t think I’ve ever smelled them before 🤔 hopefully this time I’ll get a chance 😛
@KOutdoors I do hope so 😋 They’re supposed to be very easy but I’ve tried 3 times and had very little luck with them 😐 they seem better for being in a much shadier position than my previous attempts 😅
Oh that’s interesting. I’m just wondering where I’d put them if I gave them a go. Far too much temptation on here 😂😂 @kez001uk
@KOutdoors that’s the only downside to this app, the endless temptation 🤣 I had them in dry shade the first couple of times I tried them. Had about 3 flower out of 30+ plants, and they never came back a second year. This time they’re in damp shade which seems to suit them more
That’s interesting, thank you for letting me know Kerry. Sound like they might be alright if they’re happy in the spot they’re in. 🤔@kez001uk
You will love their scent. Just so sweet and delicate. 😍😍😍
They smell amazing Kerry 😍
Exciting!
