{"product_id":"western-lily-of-the-valley-maianthemum-dilatatum","title":"Western Lily of the Valley (Maianthemum dilatatum)","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWestern lily of the valley is a common understory plant of shady, moist forests along the Pacific coast. It is an attractive, low-growing perennial groundcover, with glossy, heart-shaped leaves that emerge in early spring, creating a dense carpet over the forest floor. Spikes of small white flowers appear in late spring, followed by berries in the summer that are mottled green and red, and later ripening to a deep, translucent red. The leaves die back completely by winter, but the berries persist, providing food for wildlife. This plant spreads vigorously through rhizomes, so be sure to plant it in an area where you don't mind it taking over!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full shade to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist, humus-rich soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\"-12\" tall, spreads through rhizomes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible:\u003c\/b\u003e No\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/b\u003e Attracts beneficial insects and pollinators.
