Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
Out of season
Like a breath of fresh air in the height of summer, Veronicastrum 'Spring Dew' will invigorate your planting scheme with a cool blast of sparkling white flower spikes. Once established, this perennial is quite the architectural feature in the garden—good height, stems covered in whorls of lush foliage and blooms which rise upwards like impressive stalagmites. Besides also being a pollinator magnet, another notable feature of Veronicastrum 'Spring Dew' is a silvery dew which covers the newly-emerged foliage in spring and glitters in the sun.
Commonly known as Culver’s root, Veronicastrum virginicum 'Spring Dew' is a hardy perennial, easy to grow and produces reliable results which you can look forward to seeing year after year. Most commonly, Veronicastrum are pink or purple, it’s refreshing and unusual to see a white variety so we recommend you plant, enjoy and flaunt this new gem as much as possible! Give Veronicastrum 'Spring Dew' time to establish and you’ll notice that each year it produces more of those beautiful stems as the clump grows, that’ll mean there’s plenty to pick for cutflowers and also lots to leave for you (and the bees) to enjoy in the garden.

Plant profile
Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
