Red Valerian
Though many consider Red Valerian (Centranthus ruber) a nuisance, or even a weed, I deliberately planted it in my garden for the pollinators. It’s very popular with hoverflies but it is particularly attractive to Humming Bird Hawk Moths when they come over to the Uk from other parts of Europe. Night flying moths also love it !
