This is a well-branched, bushy, clump-forming, woody-based perennial which is valued for its ability to produce a showy bloom in poor soils from spring to frost. Late summer to fall bloom can be quite sporadic, however. 'Albus' is a white-flowered form of the popular red valerian. Small, star-shaped, white flowers appear in dense terminal clusters (cymes) atop upright to relaxed stems rising above the foliage to 3' tall. Flowers are fragrant. If not deadheaded, flowers give way to dandelion-like seed heads which are disbursed around the landscape by wind. Fleshy, gray-green, oval to lance-shaped leaves to 4" long.
