Everywhere I traveled the red valerian was there - growing off ancient stone walls alongside narrow country lanes. It beautified Cornwall, and showed me how strong this magnificent plant is. Wild and self sufficient.
Today I'm sowing a packet of seeds I ordered from a seed company Nuts n Cones, in the UK that was willing to ship to America.
I love this perennial with all my heart and soul. I'll take great care in sowing the precious seeds and keeping an eye on its progress.
