organic valerian officinale

Valeriana officinalis, Caprifoliaceae

Valerian officinalis takes its name from the Latin "valere" meaning "to be strong and healthy", probably in recognition of its powerful action on the nervous system. It's the root we're most interested in when we're herbalists (or cats), but the pinkish-white blossoms also provide us with one of the sweet, penetrating scents of early summer, which bees also appreciate. Hardy herbaceous perennial in zone 3, very easy to grow. It adapts to all kinds of conditions and, be warned, it can reseed abundantly. 75 cm to 1 m 50 cm high.

approx. 75 seeds (double bags for medium germination rate)
