Have any of you gardeners had any sucess with growing lily of the valley in South Florida? Can I grow it indoors? Some zone charts have me as a 8.9. and a 10. Any advice will be appreciated.

Lily of the Valley is a common name for at least two different plant species.

Convallaria majalis, a rhizome with dainty white flowers and entirely poisonous, is a cool climate plant. It thrives in USDA Zones 2-5, and struggles in Zone 7.

Pieris japonica is an evergreen shrub with cascading white flowers. Native to Japan, Taiwan and eastern China, recommended USDA Zones 4-8, with light shade needed warmer climates. This is also a toxic specimen, leaves and nectar are harmful when ingested.
