Mondays with Martha #216 - Culver's Root 

This week I share a lovely mid-summer blooming wildflower, Culver's root (Veronicastrum virginicum). This native species is quite adaptable, provides summer resources for pollinators, and blooms beautifully with white, candelabra-like spires of flowers. Hope you consider adding it to your own landscape!
