Spur valerian (Centranthus ruber) is easy to grow, low maintenance, and bushy stems produce an abundance of star-shaped flowers that have an impressively long bloom time. It's a hardy perennial that adds a wonderful splash of vivid color to any garden. This old-fashioned wildflower is a great choice for cottage gardens as it'll grow in the cracks of chalky walls and pavers. The cut flowers also look great in a bouquet. The young, fresh, but bitter leaves and the plant's roots also have culinary uses in soups and salads. Providing your spur valerian gets plenty of sun, you won't have to worry about any complicated or high-maintenance growing requirements. This hardy plant is tolerant of poor, infertile soils, and dry conditions. It's also easy to grow from seeds, root divisions, and cuttings. Spur valerian does best in a full sun position. It can tolerate partial shade too, but it may not produce quite as impressive a bloom through the summer. The plant may flop over if it's too shaded.It copes with dry, infertile soils incredibly well and will flourish in a compact form in areas where many other plants die off. A drought-tolerant plant, spur valerian doesn't need a lot of water. Young seedlings will need light watering, but established plants can cope fine with natural rainfall alone. This plant doesn't tolerate over-watering well.
