Veronicastrum virginicum Fascination Canna dark cobalt-blue flowersVeronicastrum virginicum 'Fascination' is a Dutch selection of the US native (Minnesota east to Maine and south to Alabama) perennial, from the garden of artist Ton ter Linden. The 6' tall, terminally branched stalks of Culver's root are clothed with whorled green foliage and further adorned with long spikes of tiny veronica like flowers of soft pink, starting above the leaves. Flowering typically begins for us in early June architecturally stunning.
