seeding for transplanting
Ich rate nur, aber ich glaube, man meint dabei zuerst die Sonnenblumen in Toepfen oder Torftoepfen saen bzw. starten, und dann spaeter (also bis Ende August) in das Feld oder in den Garten transplantieren. Mit Sonnenblumen macht man das normalerweise nicht, eben weil sie eine lange Pfahlwurzel schnell entwickeln, aber wenn man nur einige Pflanzen haben will, waere es denkbar.

Discussion
If you really want to try growing valerian from seed: Unlike basil and other hardy herb seeds that can stay viable in storage for years, germination rates for valerian seeds are iffy at the best of times, so get your seeds while they're hot (uh, fresh) and use them soon after purchase. Plant them in rich, well worked, loose soil to a depth of an 1/8 inch or so.
You can plant seeds directly in the garden in spring (they're frost hardy), but watch out for birds. Seeds germinate close to the surface and need a bit of light to quicken, so they're good candidates for predation. Keep them uniformly moist and they should germinate in a week to 10 days. You can also start seeds indoors. (You'll almost always obtain the best results by reading and following the instructions on the seed packet you buy.)
Sowing from March to June; mid-July starters may be set out in August, direct sowing also in August.
