Description
Red Valerian is a very popular ornamental plant that blooms from late spring to fall with abundant, rounded clusters of crimson, pink, and white flowers. It was introduced from Europe around the 1600s and can grow up to 2-3 feet high and 18-24 inches wide. It thrives in sandy, medium-moist, well-drained soils under at least 6 hours of full sun, and once established, it can tolerate droughts; it resists deer and rabbits but attracts many pollinators. It looks best in beds, borders, cottage gardens, coastal gardens, naturalized areas, or stone walls. It is an ideal garden ornament and can grow in poor soil as well, but cannot handle a hot, humid climate. The roots and leaves of the plant are totally edible, whether you eat its leaves raw or lightly boiled, or add roots to your soup to enhance the taste; it will taste good in all scenarios mentioned here.
