Centranthus ruber – Valerian / Jupiter's Beard
Bold, fragrant, and effortlessly beautiful, Centranthus ruber is a garden classic that earns its keep season after season. Rich red, fragrant flower clusters bloom from spring through summer, drawing butterflies, bees, and beneficial insects in abundance. It re-seeds freely, naturalizing into walls, banks, and dry borders with a wild, romantic charm. An excellent cut flower and a standout in mass plantings, it thrives in drought and poor soils with minimal care. Deer resistant and drought tolerant — a true workhorse for the low-water garden.
