Valeriana officinalis
subsp. sambucifolia:
Unusual
form with attractively, finely divided leaves. The
flowers are white, tinged pink with age. The overall impression of the
plant in the border is a white version of Verbena
bonariensis. However the plants do not self seed at all (unlike the standard
species) but spread
by underground stems to form clumps. Sweetly fragrant. About 4ft - 5ft
tall but airy and "see-through".
Propagation by division.
