Valerian - The Complete Plantvale Tea Guide (PDF)

The serious gardener's sleep herb: graceful flowers above, a powerful, earthy root below - grown patiently and brewed with care.

It asks for two things most herbs do not: time (you harvest the root in the plant's second autumn, not its first season) and honesty about the smell, since the dried root has a strong, musty odour that some people find off-putting. The good news is that valerian is hardy, easy to grow, and forgiving of all but the driest soil. This guide takes you from a packet of seed to a covered cup at the end of a long day, and tells you plainly where valerian shines and the cautions that matter.
