{"product_id":"hh-valerian","title":"Valerian Seeds (Organic)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis European wild-type variety is a hardy perennial in USDA Zones 4–8, thriving in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with compost or organic matter, growing vigorously in diverse garden conditions. Plants may reach over 5 feet tall and typically flower in their second year, producing decorative umbels of white blossoms above finely divided foliage. Start seeds in spring by pressing them gently into the soil surface—do not cover, as light is required for germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVariety Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tender Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrop category:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vegetable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecorded feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Open-Pollinated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct format:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seed packet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSowing \u0026amp; Growing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Shade:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full Sun to Part Shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight at Maturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5'+\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Depth:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface sow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGermination:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–16 Days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaturity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant Type: Perennial Zones: 4–8 Sun\/Shade: Full Sun to Part Shade Height at Maturity: 5'+ Planting Depth: Surface sow…\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse the product-specific sowing figures for Valerian as the starting point, then adjust timing to local soil temperature and frost conditions. Prepare the bed before planting, preserve the recorded spacing, and evaluate moisture at root depth instead of following a universal calendar. Watch development as the stated maturity window approaches and harvest at the size, texture, or color preferred for the crop. Label the row with the sowing date so actual performance can inform future plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep evenly moist until sprouts emerge, usually in 10 to 16 days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMature valerian leaves are fern-like, though seedlings may appear different early on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore sowing Valerian, review the packet alongside the current product details and note any range in temperature, germination, or maturity. Ranges reflect biological and seasonal variation rather than a fixed promise. Label each planting with its date and location, then compare emergence, growth, and harvest with local weather. This record is useful for succession plantings and for deciding whether the crop fits better into an earlier or later seasonal window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore related options in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/herb-seeds\"\u003eHerb Seeds\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Strictly Medicinal","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21544427520113,"sku":"SNV7023","price":5.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0061\/1391\/9089\/products\/snv7023b.jpg?v=1747083893","url":"https:\/\/www.groworganic.mom\/products\/hh-valerian","provider":"Grow Organic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
