Jupiter's Beard (Centranthus Ruber Coccineus Red) - Attract butterflies and bees to your garden by growing Jupiter's Beard seeds. The vibrant red Jupiter's Beard is a wonderful source of colour for the perennial garden. It grows 24 - 32 inches tall (60 cm - 80 cm) so it's perfect for the middle of the garden, and the bright red blooms appear all summer long above spear shaped, gray-green foliage. It makes a great cut flower. Centranthus Ruber Coccineus seeds are also known as Keys of Heaven and Red Valerian seeds. After it's established, it is considered to be fairly drought tolerant. Deadheading will keep the plant flowering fuller and later into the season. If the plant stops blooming due to heat, cut the plant back by 1/3 - 1/2 to promote another round of blooms later in the summer.
