I have some lily of the valley that my mom gave me 2 years ago, am reading on here that it's very invasive, will it do well in containers? don't want to get rid of it altogether but don't want it taking over my beds either? any suggestions?

I don't recall it being all that invasive. If it gets out of hand, just yank it out where its not wanted.

I cant picture Lily/Valley in containers.
They do so well in shady spots, not that invasive.

It's not invasive at all..it will eventually be bigger AROUND..and you can divide when you find it's too big..they stay pretty compact...Jeanne
