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.
Propagate Valerian by runner or crown division in spring or fall. Small daughter plants can also be harvested at the end of summer. Transplant to at least a foot apart, as these plants grow up to 5 feet tall and a foot wide at maturity. Valerian can also be propagated by seed, but germination rate is poor.
