Product Details

Product Details

A gem for the middle or back of the border, 'Fascination' is a selection of our native Veronicastrum virginicum that produces whorls of lance-shaped dark green leaves, and branched candelabras of narrow, lilac-rose flower spikes in mid to late summer. Superb with tall Anemones, and beautiful with Ornamental Grasses.

Veronicastrum is a genus of two species and differs from Veronica only in the presentation of the leaves, which are borne in whorls rather than opposite each other on the stems. These elegant natives of moist meadows from Massachusetts to Florida are tough and reliable and rarely need staking.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

WHEN WE SHIP

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone. We also ship a wide range of containers and planters, tools, supplies, fertilizers, garden wear, garden decor items, as well as indoor decorations like wreaths and dried bouquets when available. Estimated dates for shipping are indicated in the green Shipping Details box for each item. Please supply a street address for delivery. Kindly contact us with two weeks notice, if you'll be away at the expected time of delivery.

OUR GUARANTEE

We guarantee to ship plants that are in prime condition for growing. If your order is damaged or fails to meet your expectations, we will cheerfully replace or refund it. Please contact our Customer Service Department at 1-800-503-9624 or email us at [email protected]. Please include your order number or customer number when contacting us.

First Season, Great Grower, Nice Plumage

Ordered 6 of these, got them in a new bed among ironweed and Joe pye varieties. Did not come up much until late summer, and are about a foot tall as of the end of September. I understand these can take up to 3 years to reach full height, but so far so good, and look great among a mix of other meadowish plants.

Thanks, White Flower Farm!

How tall can i get?

Beautiful and breezy in the garden, but they are over four feet tall and have yet to bloom this year. Plant accordingly.

Tall, strong, and graceful

Beautiful, tall and graceful back border flower. It's unique because you can still see through it. Although it looks fragile, the stalks are very sturdy and do not need any staking. Would highly recommend!

Latin Name Pronunciation: veh-ron-ih-kas'trum 

A gem for the middle or back of the border, our native Veronicastrum thrives in average soils, dry or moist, and is equally happy in full sun to part shade. It produces whorls of clean, lance-shaped dark green leaves, and branched candelabras of narrow flower spikes in mid to late summer. Plants grow up to 5ft tall and seldom need staking. Superb with tall Anemones, and beautiful with Ornamental Grasses.

Veronicastrum is a genus of two species that differs from Veronica only in the presentation of the leaves, which are borne in whorls rather than opposite each other on the stems. These elegant natives of moist meadows from Massachusetts to Florida are tough and reliable and rarely need staking. Few insects or diseases trouble them.

Plant in good, well drained soil in either full sun or part shade. Plants may take up to 3 years to achieve maturity. Fertilize with a light hand, once in early spring, beginning the second spring after planting. Space plants 18" apart.
