When i lived in Brixham Valerian (both white and pink forms) grew on walls
everywhere! Wrong leaf..

I thought he meant (common) valerian (Valeriana officinalis), rather
than red valerian (Centranthus ruber); but perhaps he did mean the
latter. (I don't know what's common in the south west - apart from their
being a field maple wood on Portishead Down).
