I planted two white lily of the valley around Christmas last year in our new backyard. They were gallon sized plants when I planted them, but they weren't in bloom. Well, they survived and bloomed beautifully! They've both actually grown quite a bit over this almost-year and I'm really hopeful that they'll have the same beautiful blooms in January or so this coming year. BTW, I purchased them at Armstrong Gardens. Hope this helps :-) I know they didn't sell them for very long, because by the time they were blooming, my mom ran to the same nursery where I purchased them and they were gone and she couldn't find them anywhere else either. If nothing else, I'll bet Armstrong has them again this year. Good luck!

This isn't a very good picture, but you can see the Lily of the Valley next to that crazy looking little bird.
