Veronicastrum - Virginicum f. Caeruleum - Culver's Root. This is a showy herbaceous upright perennial, and is native to NE America. The green foliage with lance shaped leaves present in whorls on the sturdy stems with long spikes, touting clusters of tiny tubular white to pale blue flowers that bloom from the top down. This continuous flowering will make a brilliant statement to any garden from June to August. You can even get a second bloom if it is sheared back after the first bloom. It is easy to grow and maintain, making sure to keep the soil moist and not allowing it to dry out completely between waterings. This is a sturdy and hardy plant that will thrive well in the sun but if placed in a shady place it may need to be staked to prevent flopping.
Fun fact: legend has it that Saint Veronica gave her veil to Christ to wipe his forehead while carrying the cross to Calvary. The wet markings left on the veil resemble the Veronica flower.

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
