Centranthus ruber ‘Alba’

Centranthus ruber 'Alba' sports greyish-green, somewhat fleshy leaves, and masses of white flowers over a long period from spring through summer.

Centranthus ruber ‘Alba’ has loose clumps of somewhat fleshy, greyish-green leaves and stems to two to three feet that are topped with clusters of long-lasting, white, star-shaped flowers. This is the uncommon white form of red valerian that we are so glad to finally offer. Very tough and drought tolerant.
