The Valerian plant brings many benefits to the garden. Hoverflies, butterflies and bees appear in their masses to feed on the wildflowers from July to August. It’s a useful plant because it does well in semi-shade. It has racemes of white flowers from midsummer onwards that grow to about 60cm, so it’s good even for windy coastal gardens. It works incredibly well with spring bulbs as it acts as a foil to their spent foliage, and because it does well in semi-shade, it’s good under deciduous trees.
