watering

Culver's root (Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album') should be given a deep watering once every 2 weeks during active growth. Water deeply means to give the plant enough water so that it reaches the roots. When temperatures are over 80°F (27°C), you can increase the watering frequency to once a week. In the winter, you should reduce the amount of water and only water Culver's root every 4-6 weeks. During this time, it should still receive enough water to keep the soil barely moist.

sunlight

Culver's root (Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album') should receive a minimum of 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. This plant grows best in sunny locations, so it should be planted in a location with direct sunlight exposure throughout the day. During summer months, Culver's root should be placed in an area that receives full sun, while during the winter months, a partially shaded area may be more beneficial. To ensure optimal growth and flowering of this species, it is important to provide it with the right amount of sunlight.

pruning

Culver's root (Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album') should be pruned during late winter or early spring before new growth appears. The amount of pruning depends on how much you want to shape the plant or control its size. If you are looking to control growth, you should remove the tallest stems down to the desired height. If you are looking to shape the plant, you should remove any excess stems to create the desired shape. It is best to prune the stems down to the point where side branches are growing, as this will encourage new and more vigorous growth. It is also important to thin out crowded stems for better air circulation.
