Veronicastrum virginicum

An easy-to-grow native perennial, Culver’s root’s spikes of flowers grow on unbranched stems that are likened to candelabras. It has been used in various medical applications by the Cherokee, Seneca, and Menominee, and the roots’ laxative properties were popularized by a doctor who gives this plant his common name. This plant spreads through its roots but is easily contained. It is deer-resistant, and is considered threatened in New York. Culver’s root is of special value to native bees and attracts beneficial insects that prey upon pest insects.

Seed for this plant was collected within 250 miles of Arthur’s Point Farm.

Zone: 3-8 (Map)
Habitat: Adaptable: full sun to part shade; prefers moist soil.
Growth: 2’-4’ wide, 2-5’ tall
