Description
Long prized for its medicinal properties—particularly those of its roots—garden valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is quite ornamental as well. It produces basal rosettes of rich green, pinnate leaves and upright, 4- to 6-foot-tall stems that are topped with clusters of bright white to pink-tinged, fragrant, white blooms through early to midsummer. Be aware that common valerian can self-sow readily; if not deadheaded, it may seed into nearby natural areas, particularly in northern states. (It is currently classified as invasive in Connecticut and Wisconsin.) Full sun; average to moist soil. Zones 4 to 7.
Cannot ship to CT or WI.
Collected in early to mid July 2023. At least 15 seeds. Shipping to US addresses only.
