About this Product
Valerian Seeds:
Valerian has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties. This miracle herb goes by several names including the "sleeping plant", the "relaxation plant", and several others. An online search can yield more details about this marvel of nature. We are in Colorado, and in Boulder, we are lucky enough to have the Celestial Seasonings Tea Factory. They have several popular relaxation and sleepy teas containing Valerian root.
Valerian is a perennial but can be grown as an annual. The blooms range from white to pink and emit a sweet fragrance. They also attract beneficial insects including hoverflies. They will also attract butterflies as the butterfly larvae will feed off the plant. but will not pose a threat. The entire plant is edible, but most of the health benefits are in the roots. The roots can be dried and made into tea, or eaten fresh. If you decide to grow Valerian, you will need a bit of garden/yard real estate as they can reach upwards of 5 feet tall in the summer. You can trim them or harvest the roots prior to them reaching this size if you prefer. Valerian needs full sun to partial shade. Valerian is extremely frost tolerant. Plants will re-emerge after even the most severe winters. Valerian is low maintenance and doesn't necessarily require fertilizer.

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Blue Pumpkin Seed Co.! My lifelong love of gardening, especially pumpkins, led me to create this company.
We started as a small family business on Etsy in 2020, sharing our passion for heirloom seeds. Over time, I took charge to ensure this labor of love would flourish. I'm thrilled to now offer you a carefully curated selection of seeds directly.
The wonder of watching a seed grow continues to inspire me. As a fellow gardener, I share the same excitement and joy for gardening as our customers do.
