May-lily
Maianthemum bifolium
May-lily is a charming, low-growing woodland groundcover that prefers shaded or dappled-light conditions with consistently moist, humus-rich soil. It spreads slowly by rhizomes to form attractive carpets under trees or in shaded borders. Keep the soil evenly moist and mulch well to retain moisture and mimic its natural forest floor habitat.
