Perennial plant Centranthus ruber in the Valerianaceae family, native to the Mediterranean region. Its leaves are in opposite pairs, and the small crimson flowers in dense flat-topped clusters.

The sepals are rolled tightly inwards at flowering time, but uncurl as the fruit ripens and form a parachute effective in wind dispersal.
