Red valerian I like the article

Light Red valerianSole pieno
These plants lose the aerial part during the coldest months of the year. As spring begins, stems and leaves quickly start to reproduce. We suggest to position the The Red valerian in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day.We advise cultivating the The Red valerian outdoors, since it doesn't fear cold temperatures.

Fertilize Red valerian
We suggest adding to the irrigation water, in the spring, every 20-25 days, a specific fertilizer for flowering plants. We can also mix to the soil near the plants a granular slow release fertilizer, which has a 3-4 month action.

Cultivation Red valerian
These plants give origin to a brush with a rounded form. The Red valerian is a perennial herb plant. The Red valerian is medium in size and 1 m in height; in the summer it assumes a red colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year.

Water Red valerianTenere asciutto
Water sporadically, with 2-3 glasses of water , leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when watering we suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. Let's act every 1-2 weeks . Perennial plants are subject to some months of vegetational rest. During these months it isn't necessary to water them.

Pests Red valerian
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Mold Red valerian
We suggest a substratum characterized by an excellent drainage.
