Convallaria pseudomajalis, commonly known as American Lily-Of-The-Valley, is a deciduous perennial herb native to cool, temperate woodlands of the Eastern United States, particularly in the Appalachian Mountains. It typically grows to a height of 0.5-1 feet (0.2-0.3 meters) and a width of 0.4-0.5 feet (0.1-0.2 meters). This plant forms dense colonies with broad, elliptical leaves and produces arching racemes of fragrant, bell-shaped white flowers in late spring to early summer, which are highly valued for their sweet scent and delicate appearance.

American Lily-Of-The-Valley is appreciated for its fragrant flowers and ability to form a ground cover in shady areas, making it a popular choice for woodland gardens, shaded borders, and naturalized areas. It thrives in part shade to full shade, preferring consistently moist, well-drained soils rich in organic matter. While generally low-maintenance, it can be susceptible to leaf spot and root rot if conditions are too wet. Gardeners should be aware that all parts of the plant are highly toxic if ingested, and it can spread aggressively, potentially becoming invasive in some conditions.CC BY-SA 4.0
