It is listed as a noxious weed in Connecticut and Wisconsin. It is grown medicinally for the sedative effects of the drug valerian that is obtained from the roots. Other uses are in foods, perfumes, and teas. An oil obtained from the leaves and root is used as a flavoring in ice cream, condiments, and baked goods. Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems: No serious insect or disease problems. Can become weedy and invasive. Its presence in the wild may displace native plants. When used as a medicinal, prolonged use can lead to addiction. Adverse effects can include headaches, nausea, agitation, heart palpitations, and insomnia. Garden valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a perennial non-native invasive plant of sunny wetlands and roadsides. Untreated, this plant can form dense infestations that replace native vegetation and harm wildlife habitat. Valerian grows in a wide range of soils but prefers a moist, but well-drained loam.
