{"product_id":"culver-s-root-veronicastrum-virginicum","title":"Culver's Root (Veronicastrum virginicum)","description":"\u003cp\u003eCulver's Root is a sophisticated native perennial known for its unique architectural form and elegant flower spikes. Reaching heights of 3 to 6 feet, it features distinctive whorls of lance-shaped leaves that create a tiered, candelabra-like effect along the stems. From mid-summer through late August, the plant is topped with slender, pointed spikes of tiny white to pale lavender flowers that open progressively from the bottom up, providing a long-lasting nectar source. Native to moist prairies and open woodlands across the eastern and central U.S., it is highly attractive to a diverse array of pollinators, including honeybees, bumblebees, and various butterflies. Culver's Root thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers rich, moist, well-drained soils. Its sturdy, non-flopping habit makes it an ideal choice for adding vertical interest to the middle or back of a perennial border. For best results, sow seeds in the fall to provide the natural cold-moist stratification required for germination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eQuick facts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–6 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSun:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full to Partial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil moisture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium-Wet to Medium-Dry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom time:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jun–Aug (White)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLife cycle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative range:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to 36 states, including Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/database.hokseynativeseeds.com\/species\/veronicastrum-virginicum\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSee the full growing guide and county range map for Culver's Root\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hoksey Native Seeds","offers":[{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":50926600913093,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/4 lb","offer_id":50926600945861,"sku":null,"price":157.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1\/2 lb","offer_id":50926600978629,"sku":null,"price":307.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":50926601011397,"sku":null,"price":599.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/6567\/1365\/files\/1RwN4iGzEVqyAZ4ptxeJLOGRRxiwkBfsl.jpg?v=1793123890","url":"https:\/\/hokseynativeseeds.com\/products\/culver-s-root-veronicastrum-virginicum","provider":"Hoksey Native Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
