Lily of the valley


Lily of the valley (Convallaria majalis)

This is a weed in my garden! It pops through the fence from next door and grows in complete shade. I do pull some of it up, but always leave some as it saves me planting something which this will just overtake! On the up side - it seems to be untouched by the slugs!
