Description

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.

Useful information

    • Soak your Veronicastrum 'Springdew' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting.

    • Plant your "Culver's root" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors.

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed.

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
