Valerian and a friend. The red flowers are very attractive to insects

Pretty. I grew the white one from seed. It's gently spreading through the front garden. Moths are very attracted to it.

I'd like to try the white one Anget. They have long flowering season. I've never tried but apparently their flowers are edible and believed to have medicinal properties (sedative, calming and antispasmodic).
