    Valerian  - comes in pink and white too. Seeds all over the place but easy to hoik out if you don't want it.

    Please have a look at info on leylandii- particularly the height it grows to. Are you absolutely sure you want it?

    Eeek Leylandii! EnjoyTheSun, take heed of B3's question. My neigbour inherited one in the front garden between our two house. She has just had to have Dy****d out to cleared her completely blocked drains because of its roots and the nightmare tree is taller than our houses.

    First certainly Centrathus Ruber and name other poster gives it above.  Mine were only labelled 'Centranthus Ruber' when I first bought them.

    I have a couple of two year-old plants which I grow with the tall orange Geum Prinses Julianne for a colour clash!!!!   This photo was last year.  This year I've transplanted them to another part of the garden because their height was causing too much shade for a rose behind them.

    I suspect I've messed up the transplanting though.  I've moved both plants and the Geum so that I have the same colour effect.  But I didn't know what to do with the Centranthus so I cut it down to about a foot a month ago.  Nothing happening with either of them yet but am hoping fresh growth might kick in in May, after the forecast of sleet and hail (Scotland) for the next few days!
