My Valerian propagates itself very well, no help from me at all. The old

of flowers. It turns up all over the garden and most people around here
have some somewhere.

Grows wild around here in the poorest of soils. Intermingled are
white, a sort of dirty pink and a reasonable red. But they never seem
to cross-fertilise, i.e. never any intermediate shades. Anyone know
