Native to CT, MA, and VT, introduced in ME this taller growing perennial can be found growing in rich deciduous woodlands, dry uplands, and prairie-like habitats. Pretty common in the trade where rose colored varieties have been selected from this typically white flowering plant. An extended flowering time of 2-4 weeks in August provides an attractive food source for bumblebees and other hymenopteran pollinators. Taller growing species with columns of light frothy flowers that’s great for borders or towards the back of the pollinator garden. The great horticulturist and author Allan Armitage notes that Culver’s root makes a fantastic cut flower.
