Centranthus Ruber Pretty Betsy - Valerian

Valerians are cherished cottage garden perennials, loved for their long flowering season and airy, colourful displays. A particularly floriferous selection, Centranthus ruber 'Pretty Betsy' is an easy-to-grow perennial decorated with dense clusters of tiny, fragrant carmine-red flowers from late spring through to early autumn. Sitting above thick grey-green foliage, this perennial creates a soft, naturalistic appearance that blends beautifully into borders and wildlife gardens.

Thriving in well-drained soil and a sunny position, this drought-tolerant perennial is ideal for borders, gravel gardens and pollinator-friendly planting schemes. Regular deadheading will encourage further flowering throughout the season, while trimming stems after blooming helps maintain a neat shape and may promote a second flush of flowers. Pair with lavender, salvia and nepeta for a colourful display, packed with texture and movement.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
