Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album'

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album'
This Culver's root cultivar is noted for its pure white flowers. Resembles a large veronica, except its lance-shaped leaves are in whorls (3-7 leaves per whorl) on the stems rather than opposite. Dense, slender spikes (racemes to 9" long) of tiny, tube-like, pure white flowers with pink stamens open from the top down in late spring to early summer atop strong upright stems. Blooms can extend well into the summer. Smaller, branching, erect, lateral racemes give this plant a candelabra-like effect when in full bloom. 4', Z3-8.
