Valerian - 50 Seeds • Heirloom • Non-GMO • Open Pollinated • American Grown Seeds • Perennial • USDA Zone: 4-9 Valerian, with its delicate, pinkish-white blooms and fern-like foliage, is a charming addition to any herb or flower garden. This heirloom perennial has a long and rich history, and its unique fragrance adds a touch of mystery to your landscape. Valerian's tall, slender stems create a graceful vertical accent, while its clusters of tiny flowers attract a variety of beneficial pollinators, including bees and butterflies. Its deep taproot makes it a resilient plant that can tolerate a variety of soil conditions, making it a great choice for novice and experienced gardeners alike. GROWING INSTRUCTIONS: For best results, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost. Sprinkle the seeds on top of your seed starting mix and barely cover them with soil, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not soggy and provide them with plenty of bright, indirect light. After the last frost, transplant your seedlings outdoors, spacing them about 12-18 inches apart in full sun to partial shade. Valerian prefers well-draining soil and moderate moisture.
