Vertical Elegance for the Native Garden

Culver's Root (Veronicastrum virginicum) adds sophistication to the wildflower garden. It stands tall (4-5 feet) with whorls of leaves up the stem, topped with elegant, white, candelabra-like flower spikes. It has a sculptural quality that looks beautiful even from a distance. It is a favorite of pollinators, including the Rusty Patched Bumblebee.

Why You Need It:

  • Architectural: The strong vertical lines add structure to the garden.
  • Pollinator Magnet: Attracts a huge variety of bees, butterflies, and moths.
  • Adaptable: Thrives in both sun and part shade.

Planting Tips:

Plant in Full Sun to Part Sun. It prefers moist soil but is adaptable to average garden conditions. It looks stunning planted behind Echinacea or Black-Eyed Susans.
