Care Garden valerian
These plants are perennial herbs. The Garden valerian has a panel-like development, therefore it tends to widen very much. This plant in the summer assumes a white colouring; it is medium in size and can reach 1,2 m high. It doesn't keep its leaves in the winter.

Temperatures Garden valerianSole pieno
Let's grow the The Garden valerian in a luminous place, with direct sunlight. Let's grow the The Garden valerian outdoors; they can bear very harsh minimum temperatures, even when many degrees below zero.These plants are to be considered as vegetables, therefore in case of parasites we should use agricultural parasiticides; before harvesting the leaves of the treated plants let’s wait for the product not to be active anymore.

Irrigation Garden valerianTenere asciutto
We suggest watering the The Garden valerian every 2-3 weeks with 2-3 glasses of water , which means when the soil has been dry for days; if the season should be very hot and arid we can intensify the quantity of irrigations, although we must avoid leaving the substratum soaked with water. We should remember that it’s possible to harvest aromatic plants, dehydrating or freezing them, so we’ll be able to use them during the cold months.

Adversity Garden valerian
As the day-time temperatures rise at the beginning of the spring, it is agreeable to practice a preventive treatment, with a wide-range insecticide, which should be applied when there aren’t flowerings in the garden. Before the buds become too large, it is advisable to also treat them with a wide-range fungicide, to prevent the development of fungal diseases which spread easily when there is an elevated environmental moisture.

Substrate Garden valerian
They favour dissolved soils with an excellent drainage.
