lily of the valley

I always thought lily of the valley would come up with the daffodils.  Nope.  It comes up with the hostas.  Which is good to know, because I thought I had done the impossible and killed it.

My lilly of the valley is coming up, but it's not what I would call thriving.  I had visions of it making a nice little border around my mini shade garden, or even filling in and acting like a ground cover.  Nope.  It's there, but exactly as I planted it 2 years ago.  Oh well, maybe I'll be patient and let mother nature run its course, or maybe I'll find a better place for it.
