Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)

Description:

Valerian is a perennial herb, belonging to the Valerianaceae family, native to Europe, temperate Asia, and possibly North America. It is has been naturalised throughout many parts of the world, cultivated for it well known medicinal and magical properties. Valerian is a tall herbaceous plant that can reach a height of 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8m) when in flower. It has compound, pinnate leaves with toothed edges and a slightly hairy texture. The plant produces clusters of small, fragrant, white flowers with a pink tinge that bloom in summer. The roots of valerian are thick and fleshy, emitting a strong and distinctive odour.

Growing Conditions:

  • Climate: cool-temperate.

  • Position: full sun to partial shade; prefers partial shade, especially during the hottest part of the day.

  • Soil: moist, fertile soil that is rich in organic matter, although can tolerate loamy or sandy soil types; ideal soil pH should be slightly acidic to neutral, ranging from 6.0 to 7.5.

  • Water: moderate water needs; water the plant regularly, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

  • Spacing: space the plants approximately 18 to 24 inches (45 to 60cm) apart.

  • Propagation: sow the seeds indoors in early spring or directly into the garden bed after the danger of frost has passed. Tamp securely into the soil surface or lightly cover with soil (light-dependent germinator); root divisions can be done in spring or autumn by separating clumps and replanting them.

  • Harvest:

    • Root: The roots are the main medicinal part of the plant. Harvest in the autumn of the second or third year when the plant has fully matured.

    • Aerial parts: The leaves and flowers can also be harvested for medicinal use. Harvest the leaves and flowers when they are fully developed but before they begin to wilt.
