As with Anthriscus 'Ravenswing', Ragged Robin and Briza, lots of our native plants are hugely worthwhile and long-performing perennials to include in our gardens.

Description

As with Anthriscus ‘Ravenswing’, Ragged Robin and Briza, (the Greater Quaking grass), lots of our native plants are hugely worthwhile and long-performing perennials to include in our gardens. True Valerian is a great example. This flowers all summer, has great stature and elegance and is top-class for pollinators.

Care Tips

May require staking. After flowering in summer, cut back faded flower stems if you don’t want it to self-seed. Needs little attention once established. Clumps can be lifted and divided in spring or autumn.
