Valerian, valeriana officinalis, is a tallish plant with clusters of pink or, less commonly, white flowers. A perennial grows to 4-5 feet tall, with leaves strongly divided, pinnate with lance-shaped leaflets; lower ones toothed. Tiny, pale pink to whitish, tubular flowers, grow in three-forked terminal heads in tight clusters; each flower has a small, inrolled calyx at the base; as the fruits form, the calyces become feathery parachutes. Blooms June to July.
Valerian essential oil blends well with the following essential oils: patchouli, oakmoss, pine, lavender, cedarwood, mandarin, petitgrain and rosemary.
