Product description
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis)
Valerian is one of the oldest plants used in medicine that has always been valued for the sedative and hypnotic effect of its roots. The blooming flowers are white or light-pink and have long stems. They smell sweet and attract many bees, butterflies and other pollinators.
The Valerian prefers a semi-shaded position and moist, heavy, rich soil. For cultivation we recommend Gartenleben compost teas. Valerian seeds are sown into the ground for the given season from March to June, or for the next season, from mid-July until the end of August. When sowing, remember that Valerian seeds germinate in the light, so do not cover them with soil, but gently pat them into the ground. The flowering period lasts from May to August. The plant reaches height of 1,5m.
