A lovely perennial for the garden valerian is an easy herb to grow. Although it can be grown in a pot, because of the height it grows, it is better in the ground, where it will be leafier and grow a thicker stronger flowering stem. It likes the sun, but will be happy with some shade during the day and grows well in most soils. In winter it dies back completely and the old foliage can be removed - it usually begins to sprout again in late February.
