    Don't do that, seedlings need to gather all the sun's energy they can so taking off any leaves is a bad idea. Even when the cotyledons start to yellow leave them on as the plant recovers nutrients...

    Red Valerian cuttings

    It's a rampant self-sower here. Often the white form but I usually get some red and some that's more of a deep pink. I frequently pull some out when it appears in amongst other things.

    Its amazing how big those tubers can get first year from seed. I grew those big 4ft /5ft high ones a long time ago from seed and the tubers were massive.
