How to plant Lily of Valley?
Lilies of the Valley don%26#039;t actually have bulbs. They have a rhizome (which is like a long, thin, sideways-growing, carrot-like root). The rhizome has large buds, called pips, which produce new stalks and leaves. Plant pips 1%26quot; (2 -3 cm) below soil surface. It doesn%26#039;t matter which direction you plant the pip, but if it%26#039;ll make you fell better, plant them facing up. These pips will become the new stems and they do need to grow up towards the sun. You can soak your pips in lukewarm water before planting. The pips will absorb water, wake up and be ready to take off. Before tucking your pips into the planting medium, snip the last inch off the roots. This will activate the roots, encourage moisture uptake and jump start the growing process.
