antsinmypants's Plant List: Collected or purchased 2023

A note from antsinmypants
Feel free to ask about anything in my list you may be interested in. I'm always looking to trade. Just because something isn't in my want list doesn't necessarily mean I don't want it & just because something I have isn't marked for trade doesn't mean it isn't available for trade. I stay busy so don't always get around to updating.

Valerian is easily grown in average garden soils in full to part sun. Its preference is full sun, with consistently moist conditions, and soil consisting of fertile loam but can adapt to less ideal circumstances. It can be grown in part shade, however, the stems may flop. The more shade, the more this condition will increase.

It is a non-native herb that has escaped cultivation and has spread primarily in the northern US as it prefers cooler weather and abundant rainfall. It spreads by rhizomes and seeds and can be weedy. 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. PLANT HEIGHT: 48-78". PLANT SPACING: 12-18". HARDINESS ZONES: Zones 3-9.

Northern Wild Raisin (Viburnum nudum var cassinoides) is a deciduous shrub that produces clusters of small white flowers in late June and colorful, pinkish berry-like fruit which matures to near-black in fall. This shrub is abundant on poorly drained soils in swamps and bogs in the Adirondacks.

Showy fruits set this species apart from other viburnums. Fruits mature from green to red very quickly, then slowly from red to blue at an inconsistent rate. Red and blue berries mingle together in clusters, providing visual appeal as well as wildlife value.

Zones 3-9.
