Description
Culver’s root (Veronicastrum virginicum) produces slender, spiky clusters of white flowers in mid- or late summer, followed by long-lasting seedheads atop stems that can reach anywhere from 5 to 7 feet tall. (Cutting the stems back by about half their height in late spring to early summer can encourage somewhat shorter, bushier growth, if desired.) The flowers of this U.S. native attract many bees, syrphid flies, butterflies, and other pollinators and look right at home paired with other tall native plants, such as switch grasses (Panicum), Joe-Pye weeds (Eutrochium), and giant coneflower (Rudbeckia maxima). Full sun to light shade. Perennial; Zones 3 to 8.
Harvested in September and October 2020. At least 40 seeds.
Please read the germination information as well before ordering.

gonna try again in fall
Hi Janet. I sent you a refund for the seeds. Could you tell me why they didn’t work out for you: Did they not germinate, or did something happen to them after that? [Edit: I’m glad we were able to connect, Janet. Sounds like you had good germination results with most of the seeds you ordered but had some challenges after that. I’m glad you are planning to try again!]
