Understanding the Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley is native to the cooler climates of Europe and Asia, thriving in shaded, moist environments. Its white or pink flowers bloom in late spring, filling the air with a sweet, almost nostalgic scent. This plant is not just a pretty addition to your garden; it has also been used historically for its medicinal properties, particularly in treating heart conditions. However, it is important to note that all parts of the Lily of the Valley are toxic if ingested, so it should be handled with care, especially around children and pets.
