Interstella® Lily of the Valley Shrub

Interstella® Lily of the Valley Shrub is one of the most spectacular early-season flowering shrubs you can grow, producing hundreds of dangling ruby-red bell-shaped flowers before winter has even fully released its grip, often blooming for two months or more. When the flowers finally fade, a dazzling new show begins: vivid star-like new growth emerges in brilliant shades of red and orange, providing a second wave of intense color. This shade-tolerant, deer-resistant broadleaf evergreen is a true four-season performer with glossy year-round foliage.
