We are pleased to offer this new selection of this little-known NC native (and throughout the eastern US). Veronicastrum makes a superb vertical accent in the perennial border, emerging in spring and quickly expanding to 30" in height. In mid-summer, the sturdy clumps of whorled foliage are topped with 10" tall spikes of pinky-purple veronica-like heads, darker toward the top. Veronicastrum is native in bogs and moist slopes, so be sure to provide an even moisture supply.
