The flowers are much favoured for use in wedding bouquets. They are pollinated by bees. Lily-of-the-valley produces round, bright red poisonous berries. Majalis means 'that which belongs to May', the month in which the plant comes into flower.

This plant is used by Laurie Chetwood and Patrick Collins in their Perfume Garden for Chelsea Flower Show 2009. They say 'Perfume is extracted from flowers. Used in many perfumes.'
