| Capsules-1 to 3 daily Extract- 1o drops in liquid daily You really don't want to make this one into tea as it has a very strong smell & an unpleasant taste. |
| How To Grow |
 |
| Valerian has very small seeds but they germinate & grow very easily. Surprisingly The flowers smell great & attract bees & butterflys. It grows to be a tall plant over 5 feet high & seeds freely.
