Notes
'Golden Slippers' lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis 'Golden Slippers') is a perennial for shade gardens, woodland edges, ground cover, and naturalized areas. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and dry to wet, loamy or clay soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. The flowers are fragrant, and the plant is drought tolerant. It grows slowly and spreads 12 to 24 inches, so give it room.
Pairs well with Lungwort, Yellow trout-lily, and Sedge.
