Culver's root

Culver's root should be watered regularly, about twice a week during the growing season. Just enough water should be provided to moisten the soil without allowing it to become soggy. However, it should not be subjected to drought conditions either. It is best to water the plant in the morning or early afternoon to give the foliage time to dry off before the evening. In winter, when the plant is not actively growing, watering can be reduced to once a month.

Culver's root (Veronicastrum virginicum 'Spring Dew') prefers full sun to light shade, as long as the sun is not too hot. It'll do best in an area that receives 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. This sun exposure should occur throughout the day, as Culver's root prefers consistent sun exposure rather than extreme spikes of sun intensity. Partial shade in the late afternoon or early evening can help the plant stay cool and healthy.

Culver's Root (Veronicastrum virginicum 'Spring Dew') should be lightly pruned in the late winter or early spring. Pruning should be minimal, with only 6 to 8 inches of the tallest culms being cut off. The purpose of pruning culver's root is to encourage better branching and an even, bushy look. It can also help to keep the plant's size under control. Pruning the culver's root in this way will help to promote healthier, fuller growth and better flowering.
