Only from the outside does it seem beautiful and harmless.
Gardeners will lose a good part of their flowerbed if they decide to plant one pretty plant nearby.
Lily of the valley only seems harmless at first glance. In fact, the flower mercilessly "kills" all cultivated plants nearby.
Lily of the valley is poisonous from flowers to roots, but there is another good reason why summer residents are in no hurry to deal with this plant.
The flower has all the properties of a weed. The plant takes root in almost any conditions and quickly takes over the area. Some summer residents compare the lily of the valley with dandelions and couch grass because of this.
Before planting the plant, it is worth considering that it has a strong root system. Tenacious and powerful roots draw nutrients from the soil and destroy neighboring crops.
Having gained strength, the lily of the valley actively takes over the plot. Therefore, experienced gardeners advise thinking before planting lily of the valley on the plot. The plant is beautiful, but can cause a lot of trouble.
