Growing Instructions:
Valerian prefers full sun to partial shade. It thrives in moist, well-drained loamy soil but can tolerate a range of soil types. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Mulching around the plants can help retain moisture. Valerian is relatively low-maintenance. Prune the plant to remove dead or damaged stems and to encourage bushier growth. Be aware that valerian can self-seed readily, so you may need to control its spread by removing flowers before they set seed. Valerian is generally pest-resistant but can occasionally be affected by aphids and powdery mildew. Regular monitoring and proper spacing can help prevent these issues.
Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
