Here we present the first genome sequence and annotation of Valeriana officinalis (commonly known as valerian), a widespread perennial plant widely used as a herbal remedy. Using ONT long-read sequencing data, a highly continuous genome assembly was generated for V. officinalis. This study uncovers the flavonoid biosynthesis gene repertoire and numerous terpene synthase candidate genes in this species. This data publication contains the genome sequences with corresponding annotations.
