JDog Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Yes Valerian or Centranthus rubra. They are great attractors of butterflies and bees and if you are lucky Hummingbird Hawk Moths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its used allot for nervous horses, example would be one that doesnt like traveling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but i think its a tad more expensive, i dont think the Mrs uses it now (on her horse), the horse that it was for has since moved on. I tried a bit for to see what it was like , tastes bloody awful but it does work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
