Centranthus ruber ‘Albus’ – 2026

Centranthus ruber ‘Albus’ is a hardy, perennial plant prized for its profusion of pure white, fragrant, star-shaped flowers that bloom from late spring into summer. The flowers are carried on upright, branching stems above clumps of grey-green, lance-shaped foliage, creating a long-lasting and elegant display in borders, cottage gardens, or naturalistic plantings. Its nectar-rich blooms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable choice for wildlife-friendly gardens.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, Centranthus ruber ‘Albus’ is hardy, low-maintenance, and tolerant of poor or dry conditions, making it easy to grow in a range of garden settings. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage prolonged blooming, and occasional trimming helps maintain a neat shape. Its combination of attractive foliage, abundant white flowers, and ecological value ensures it is both decorative and beneficial in borders, cottage gardens, or naturalistic plantings.
