This makes me wonder how much moisture Valerian must take.


It thrives on neglect and doesn't need watering.


Not true. It dies here in TN unless heavily watered. It's no heat lover
either.

Then you have a different flower. My come up out of uncultivated clay
and lives lone enough to seed for the following year. I have taken to
watering mine when I think of it, because they are free beauty, along
with the red valerians, fox gloves, and the nasturtiums, but they endured
a decade of neglect, when we first moved into this house.
