Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Shipping

To obtain a more accurate shipment time-frame, simply enter your zip code in the “Find Your Growing Zone” box to the right. Our plants are grown all over the country and lead time on items may be different because of this.

Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. We use FedEx, UPS, or USPS at our discretion.

 

Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

  • White-Lavender Floral Spikes
  • Deep-Green Foliage
  • Upright, Strong Verticle Accent
  • Easy Care & Low Maintenance
  • Beneficial Pollinator Friendly
  • Full Sun Native

Also known as Black Root, Culvers Root (Veronicastrum virginicum) is a hardy native perennial. These pollinator magnets add vertical interest to the wildflower garden.

Often over 5' tall, mid-summer brings candelabra-like, branched flower spikes, resembling their Veronica botanical namesake. Blooms are white with a lavender tinge and are loved by butterflies!

Growing from deep-green basal foliage that forms whorls with very sturdy stems in full sun.

How to Use Culvers Root In The Landscape

The height of these native perennials makes them perfect as back-of-the-border and vertical accents.

Prairie, Wildflower and Naturalized garden settings are lovely locations. Preferring moist to average soil, Rain gardens and soggy sites.

Blooming all summer, these are fantastic as tall additions to your Cut Flower gardens, plus amazing in Cottage gardens and Perennial beds and borders.

#ProPlantTips For Care

Full sun provides the strongest stems, although when planting in warmer growing zones 3-8, these do appreciate light shade.

Native plants that don't mind occasionally wet to moist soil, doing best in average, well-drained soil

Control the size by pruning back before they bloom and dead-heading to extend bloom time.

Culvers Root is an amazing tall addition to native and prairie garden design! Tough and adaptable, you will be glad you included this fantastic plant! Order from Nature Hills today!
