Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Album’

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Album' has white candelabras held aloft on tall stems with whorls of architectural foliage.

Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Album’ is a lovely, tall, back of the border, late-flowering clumper that loves moist feet and good sun. I particularly admire its white elegance in the evenings when it reminds me of a candelabra. Plants bulk up with time offering large clumps of white spires and attractive foliage whorled at regular intervals along the stems. A native from Manitoba east and south to Florida.
