Valerian (*Valeriana officinalis*), commonly known as garden valerian or all-heal, is a hardy herbaceous perennial herb native to Europe and parts of Asia. It features pinnately divided, fern-like leaves and tall, erect stems topped with clusters of small, sweetly scented pale pink or white flowers in summer, attracting bees and butterflies. The plant has a distinctive, sometimes strong root aroma and is valued both ornamentally for its graceful form and medicinally for centuries, dating back to ancient Greece and Rome.
Valerian typically grows 3–5 feet tall (up to 6 feet in bloom) with a spread of 1–3 feet, forming clumps that die back in winter. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4–9 (or up to 11 in some sources), preferring full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Primarily used for its roots, which are harvested for teas, tinctures, or supplements to promote relaxation, reduce anxiety, and aid sleep; it's also grown as an ornamental in borders or herb gardens, though it can self-seed readily.
