Description
The Garden Valerians in mix or Centranthus ruber Snowcloud in Latin, is a robust perennial plant naturally found in dry and sunny lands of Southern Europe.
The flowers carried at the end of the stems, are gathered in compact cymes of white color. The flowers are slightly scented. The flowering is very long as it usually starts in early May and ends with the arrival of the first cold in October. That's nearly 6 months of flowering out of 12! Additionally, it will make an excellent cut flower for your summer bouquets.
An ecological gesture: Throughout the summer, the nectar-bearing flowers of Centranthus ruber Snowcloud attract pollinating insects and butterflies to your garden. A good way to improve the ecosystem of your garden and vegetable patch.
Its upright stems bear opposite lanceolate leaves that are dark green with bluish reflections. The plant reaches a height of 80 to 100cm (39.4 in) when in bloom.
Valerian is an easy-to-grow plant that self-seeds. Plant it in well-drained, even dry, and especially sunny soil. It thrives in poor soils of rockeries, slopes, and even old walls.

Planting and care
Sow Valerian from March to June in a tray. Use good quality soil. Sow your seeds by broadcasting. Cover the seeds by sprinkling soil on top or vermiculite, lightly press down and water generously with a fine rain. Place your tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 18°C to 20°C.
The seeds will germinate in 21 to 30 days. Once the plants have reached a height of 5 cm (2 in), transplant them into pots. 15 days before their final planting, start gradually acclimating them to a temperature of 15°C.
By the end of May or early June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Space your plants 30 cm (11.8 in) apart.
Regularly remove faded flowers to promote new flowering.

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).
