Centranthus Ruber ‘Albus’ (Red Valerian) is a popular upright perennial grown for its showy sprays of airy, rounded clusters of white flowers. Rising atop a bushy foliage of blue-green, lance-shaped leaves, the sweetly-perfumed flowers enjoy one of the longest blooming seasons, from early summer to fall. Easy to grow, fairly pest and disease-free, and free-flowering, this border beauty attracts butterflies.
