White Red Valerian

Hi All,

I've found a couple of white forms of red valerian. Does anyone know if they would have seeded from the red which I have or if it is just a lucky find come in from elsewhere?

If it has come from the red, could it then go on to seed red? I'm just curious, it's not of immense importance.

I'm pretty sure it is a white form of red and not common valerian...

    Pink valerian- that sounds niceimage

    Just a lucky find then I suppose- I don't know if it grows on the coast around here...

    I wouldn't describe my valerian patch as spectacular sadly but I do like them and they are providing colour and I don't have much at the mo. 

    Plants like that never grow where you want them to- I tried planting up a piece of bindweed and it immediately died.image

    Thanks for the replyimage

    My weeds are more of the sow thistle and bitter cress variety image 

    I wonder if anyone purposely grows them?

    Verdun, you almost make me sorry to live in the Coalfieldsimage Sounds beautiful...

    I think I'll let them seed another year and see what happens- at least nothing seems to eat themimage
