I am very surprised to see you added Lily of the Valley. Here in Ontario it is so spreading and can be invasive and I, like the other plant you have in your own garden- the 'snow on the mountain I think you called it' - called a variegated Goutweed here, is one of the very worst worst invasive and impossible to remove or get rid of plants around. Both plants here I would NEVER recommend to anyone. Just surprised you did.
After selling plants for years in garden centers, I've learned every plant can have a place and purpose. You'd be surprised how many customers would request these plants. Often, it was for an area where nothing else would grow, such as deep shade situations or slopes where erosion was causing problems. But also, often, for sentimental purposes. They are both old-fashioned varieties and were reminders for loved ones lost, grandma's house, etc. I have a small patch of Snow On The Mountain that hitched hiked on a Fern-leaf Peony I transplanted from my late Father-in-law's garden. I love it. If you don't mind using a little herbicide occasionally, it only takes a few minutes a year to spray the edges and keep it contained. I've kept mine in a 6'x6' area for 12 years now. And I just recently planted my first Lily of the Valley in one of my own gardens (it reminds me of an old lake cabin I used to have 😊). But point taken, they can both lead to frustrations for many gardeners.
