Centranthus ruber ‘Coccineus’ or Valerian showcases spire-like pink blooms from June to July. Recognizable by its crosswise opposite blue-green leaves tapering to a pointed tip, the spurred valerian adds an elegant touch to the garden. Reaching a height of approximately 60 cm, Centranthus ruber ‘Coccineus’ thrives best in a sunny location and complements other perennials seamlessly. For maintenance, consider pruning Centranthus ruber ‘Coccineus’ after its flowering period to encourage a potential rebloom or second flowering. The plant may also self-seed, providing an opportunity to renew its presence in the garden after a few years.
