Rosy Trio Valerian Collection (Centranthus)
Best low-maintenance choice for gardeners seeking deer-resistant, drought-tolerant floral color.
These hardy perennials are the ultimate set-and-forget solution for filling empty garden beds with fragrant, season-long color. While they demand little more than well-drained soil, their tendency to naturalize means you should be prepared for them to claim a bit more territory than you initially planned.
