Lily of the Valley Tree, also commonly known as Sourwood, is a tree in the blueberry family (Ericaceae), best known for its fragrant and graceful lantern/bell-shaped flowers which produce a nectar beloved by bees. Sourwood honey is considered one of the finest honeys in the world. Native to eastern North America, from Pennsylvania south to northwest Florida and west to southern Illinois. It's most commonly found in the lower reaches of the Appalachian Mountains and frequently occurs in oak-heath forests. Like most of its cousins, it requires acidic soil to thrive.

Juice from lily of the valley tree's blooms is used to make a tasty jelly, and the leaves have been used as a laxative, and a treatment for asthma, diarrhea, fevers, kidney and bladder ailments, excessive menstruation, and indigestion. The bark has been chewed to treat mouth ulcers. The young leaves can be eaten raw and have a pleasing sour taste (the tree is also sometimes called "sorrel tree" for this reason). The shoots were used by Cherokee and Catawba people to make arrowshafts.

GROWING TIPS: Hardy Zones 5-8. Perhaps surprisingly, this species requires no stratification, but seedlings should be not be allowed to dry out until they have at least four or five true leaves. Seeds are very small. Surface sow, spreading seeds thinly over your prepared medium's surface (peat with some humus is a good choice). Gently tamp seed into soil surface and water by misting so they don't float away. Seed needs light to germinate so don’t cover seed. A clear plastic cover to maintain humidity will improve germination and increase the likelihood of seedling survival. Light should be indirect. Seeds germinate best at room temperature or slightly higher. Should begin to germinate within two weeks or so.

Too firm
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
Too firm. Seems like there is too much filling inside the pillow. You can’t fold it in half or burrow into it. Otherwise the quality is quite good.

Excellent purchase
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Soft, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I purchased this Amazon Basics pillow set with protective pillow covers, and it was honestly a great buy. The pillows have a soft density, which is perfect if you like comfort without feeling too firm or stiff. From the first night, they adapted well to my head and neck, helping me sleep more comfortably.

Don't try to save $$ when buying pillows. Better to sleep happy!

Instead of purchasing what I was looking for I went with the Amazon variation and I'll think twice before doing that again. The reviews for this pillow said that it was "soft" (not FIRM) and good for side sleepers. Now imagine a pillow that you have to inflate, and you fill it to maximum capacity, then try to sleep on that balloon! It barely gives when you lay on it and is FIRM! Go with your gut and don't try and save a few bucks when you buy something as important as a pillow. Unfortunately they were vacuum packed and I don't think I can return them. They inflated quite a bit and it would be a pretty big hassle. Someone is getting a gift of 2 very firm pillows!

The best pillow I've ever had!
Size: King (U.S. Standard), Number of Items: 2
I have tried a LOT of pillows over the years. I'm allergic to feathers so I need something non-allergenic. I am a back and side sleeper, and all of the pillows I've tried have gone flat after just a few weeks. Well I've had these for a couple of months now, and they show no sign of flatness whatsoever. A few punches or a fluff cycle in my dryer each week plumps them right up. They are just the right kind of firmness -- enough give so that I'm not kinking my neck, but not too much give so that my head ends up on the mattress by morning. I just cannot say enough good things about these pillows. I'm so excited that I finally found one that is perfect for me. As others have said, they arrive vacuum packed. They look a bit weird, and it will make you wonder how they will ever fluff up from how flat they are when they arrive. But look at it as an opportunity to take out your frustrations lol. Whack them on a wall, punch the bejeebers out of them, it will make you feel good and it will inflate them right up. Or throw them in the dryer like I did and in 15 minutes you will have a perfectly fluffy pillow. All in all, I highly recommend these. The price point is so reasonable, and they seem to be well made. Five stars all around.
