Plants We Love
CULVER’S ROOT
VERONICASTRUM VIRGINICUM
We love culver’s root () for its tall spikes of white or purple flowers that begin in early or midsummer and can continue until autumn. This US-native perennial attracts butterflies and bees. Small, tube-shape flowers line long, slim flower stems and open in succession in warm weather. Smaller flower stems can develop at the sides, giving a candelabra structure. Bloom can run from late spring to autumn, though midsummer to autumn is more typical.
