Description
This mix of red valerian or Centranthus Star Ruber Mixed, is a robust perennial that grows naturally in the sunny, dry areas of Southern Europe.
Its erect stems bear opposite, lanceolate, dark green leaves with hints of blue. The plant reaches a height of 80 to 100 cm when in flower.
The flowers that are held at the tips of the stems, are gathered into compact cymes of rose, maroon and white. The flowers are lightly scented. The flowering period is very long as it usually starts at the beginning of May and ends with the first cold spells in October, which means that it blooms nearly 6 months out of 12!
Red valerian is an easy-to-grow plant that self-seeds readily on its own. Plant it in well-drained, even dry soil and make sure above all else, that it gets a lot of sunlight. It adapts to the poor soil of rock gardens and slopes, and even grows very well on old walls.
Additionally, it will make an excellent cut flower for your summer bouquets.
An eco-friendly gesture: All summer long, the melliferous flowers of Centranthus Star Ruber Mixed attract pollinating insects and butterflies to your garden. A good way to improve the ecosystem of your garden and vegetable plots.

Planting and care
Sow red valerian from March to June in a seed tray. Use good quality soil. Broadcast sow the seeds. Cover the seeds with a sprinkling of compost or vermiculite and tamp down lightly. Water generously with a very fine rose. Place your seed tray in a bright position without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 18°C to 20°C.
Seed emergence will take 21 to 30 days. As soon as the seedlings have reached a height of 5 cm, transplant them into small pots. 15 days before planting them out, begin to gradually acclimatize to a temperature of 15 °C.
At the end of May, beginning of June, temperatures in the garden should be warm enough to transplant your young plants. Choose a site with plenty of sunshine and well-drained soil. Space your plants 30 cm apart.
Regularly deadhead spent flowers in order to encourage further blooming.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
