Lily Of The Valley (Convallaria) bears dainty， white flowers with a strong， sweet perfume in spring. Bell-like blooms hang from semi-pendulous stems with lance-like foliage. It can be an aggressive groundcover given the right conditions of partial shade and rich， moist soil. They are non-invasive and deer resistant. They can also be grown successfully in outdoor containers or indoors as a house plant. These plants have been around since 1000 B.C. and are often found near old foundations， where they proved more durable than the houses.
