Plant Description. Valerian is a perennial plant that is native to Europe and grows up to 2 feet tall. It is grown to decorate gardens, but also grows wild in damp grasslands. Straight, hollow stems are topped by umbrella-like heads. Its dark green leaves are pointed at the tip and hairy underneath.
I have a few different species. I have the normal one which, in less than 4 years, has grown from a 3 ft plant to 12 ft tall. It has the usual red brushes. I also have the weeping type, which is lovely, and is almost as fast growing as the normal. I have a spiny type that is still in a one gal, going to plant it out in spring. ALso have a Pink form ditto.
