Roll out the red carpet

NE wildlife plant that everyone should grow is the old cottagegarden favourite red valerian (). Each head is made up of hundreds of tiny flowers and each one has a long corolla tube that’s perfect for a long-tongued bee, butterfly or moth. It’s always full of life and some of it’s rather exotic. It’s the favourite plant) in my garden, and this day-flying moth, which does hover like a hummingbird, is rarely seen on anything else.
