Description:
Becoming invaluable as an evergreen groundcover for shade, as gardeners become acquainted with this perennial, that is closely related to Lily of the valley. This collection was a surprise indeed, as I finally fought my way to the very end of a wild valley deep in the mountains surrounding Sapa, an old hillstation in northern Vietnam in April 2017. Here it had thrust its creeping-rooting stems along the ground, forming a cover of strap-shaped ribbed leaves, even in dense shade. Bearing pink lily of the valley-like flowers August-October. Height 20cm. Easily grown in shade in an acid-neutral soil.
