Or anyone....
I got this from Dori a few years ago in a secret trade and this year it has really exploded! I love it!! You can see it from a distance and it it gorgous.....the blooms have never stood this tall....I need the name, so I can finally put a tag on it....I have been told the name before, but never tagged it.... I PROMISE, I WILL THIS TIME!
Help Dori.......Need a name AGAIN....

Hello LG
Centranthus ruber aka Jupiter's Beard or Red Valerian

Great butterfly plant but it can be invasive.

One time I can identify a plant and someone beats me to it!
The ONLY reason I CAN identify it, is that dd and I weeded and one of us pulled it up thinking it was a weed this spring. Found the tag later
It is a beauty LG!

Jane I would give you a piece, and still will, if I knew it would do okay.....When I got it in the spring of that trade, it was not happy.....didn't do nothing.....really did grow, and I thought I was going to loose it.....I think I left it in the same spot another year, and it did not like it....I moved it, and it started doing better each year....I though last year was good until this year.....The blooms are high up on it and it really is showy now.....I don't know if it is the plant not liking to be dug and moved or if it was where I first planted it....both places have full sun.........so go figure....But if you'd like some let me know....(and keep reminding me..... ) I'll try it....
