Veronicastrum virginicum Album is a slowly establishing, clump-forming herbaceous perennial with strong upright green stems and well-spaced whorls of dark green, finely toothed leaves. From May into September, with the main display in June to August, branched candelabra-like groups of slender white racemes rise above the foliage. Tiny five-lobed tubular flowers carry two pink to pink-purple projecting stamens and a projecting pistil. The cultivar grows best in moderately fertile, humus-rich soil that remains evenly moist to wet but is preferably drained, in full sun or partial shade. It provides vertical structure in moist borders, prairie and meadow plantings and rain gardens, supports bees, wasps, butterflies, moths and hoverflies, and can be cut for arrangements. The roots are not edible and may be toxic if ingested.
