What are plugs? Plugs are plants grown in 72-cell trays; each soil plug is 1.6” wide x 3.2” deep. They are a great option for planting large gardens. We plant all of our own projects with plugs.

Culver’s Root has white flower spikes that add a unique color and texture to any garden. Culver’s Root can handle some shade and moist soil, making it a valuable flower for hard-to-grow areas. The spent flower heads turn brown and look really nice among fall prairie grasses like Little Bluestem and Prairie Dropseed.

Design Tips

Culver's Root (Veronicastrum virginicum) looks fantastic when planted in drifts near the middle of a garden, providing a backdrop for red flowers such as Cardinal Flower or Marsh Milkweed or a foreground for taller pink flowers such as Blazing Stars or Sweet Joe Pye Weed.

Great native plant choice for the Minnesota Lawns to Legumes grant program!
