valerian
- Position: full sun
- Soil: well-drained, neutral to alkaline
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: May to October

Airy clusters of white flowers appear from July to October on tall, fleshy stems with glaucous leaves. This white form of red valerian is long flowering and easy-to-grow and combines well with many different plants. It's ideal for a sunny wildflower or seaside garden with poor, but well-drained soil, or for growing between the cracks in walls. It self-seeds freely and prefers a chalky or alkaline soil. - Garden care: Deadhead regularly throughout the summer to prolong flowering. In autumn cut the plant back down to the ground and compost the dead stems.
