Product Description
Centranthus ruber, commonly known as red valerian or Jupiter's beard, is a charming and resilient perennial plant that belongs to the Caprifoliaceae family. Native to Mediterranean regions, this herbaceous plant has gained popularity in gardens and landscapes worldwide for its vibrant and long-lasting blooms.
Red valerian typically grows to a height of 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm) and features clusters of tubular, five-petaled flowers that come in various shades of red, pink, or occasionally white. These flowers bloom from late spring to early summer and continue to adorn the plant throughout the growing season. The deep green, lance-shaped leaves form a lush backdrop for the striking flowers.
One of the notable features of Centranthus ruber is its adaptability to a wide range of soil types and conditions. It thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Additionally, it attracts pollinators such as butterflies and bees, making it a beneficial addition to pollinator gardens.
Red valerian's low-maintenance nature, vibrant blossoms, and ability to thrive in diverse environments make it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a splash of color and wildlife-friendly appeal to their landscapes.
