Centranthus ruber is fantastic for wildflower and cutting flower gardens. In the garden, Jupiter’s Beard is reliable even in nutrient poor soil where other plants might not thrive. If spent blossoms are removed, Centranthus will put up a show from early summer to autumn, attracting bees, butterflies and hummingbirds alike. Take care to plant in an area that isn’t too difficult to reach, as you may want to control its tendency to gleefully reseed itself.
