Lily of the Valley Tree – Oxydendrum arboreum Seeds | 50 Seeds | Fragrant Flowers & Brilliant Fall Color

Oxydendrum arboreum, commonly known as Sourwood or Lily of the Valley Tree, is one of the most beautiful native flowering trees in North America. Loved for its long-lasting fragrant white blooms and spectacular crimson fall color, this elegant tree brings multi-season interest to any landscape.

In early summer, drooping clusters of delicate, urn-shaped white flowers cover the tree like a soft white cloud. The blossoms resemble Lily of the Valley and carry a sweet fragrance that attracts honey bees, producing prized Sourwood honey. In autumn, the glossy green foliage transforms into brilliant shades of scarlet, crimson, and deep maroon — creating one of the most striking fall displays of any native tree.

This 50-seed pack is perfect for gardeners who appreciate rare native trees, pollinator plants, and exceptional fall color.
