Yes, those are some clover nearby just starting to grow which I also try to encourage under there though they get limited sun (this “garden bed” is under the small porch for our side door right next to our driveway to the garage, but it does get some east and south sun).

Depending on the type of lily of the valley, they can grow anywhere from 6-12″ tall. I think this variety tops out around 6 or 7″. I’ve honestly never measured them.😊 They mostly spread underground by rhizomes, but also can develop a pea like seed.

We are in the New England region (USDA plant hardiness zone 5b). Our last frost date usually falls around May 20th, so we don’t have a very long growing season which is why both have just started to grow recently. Last year we had snow the second week in May, which isn’t typical, but can happen. We almost always have at least some snow in mid April here, though (including this year). I grew up in the mid-Atlantic region on a barrier island bordering the Atlantic which is a much more temperate zone. We rarely got snow there, and when we did the salt air usually made short work of it. I love snow which is one of the reasons we moved further north.
