Prefers full sun to part shade in medium soils. Can grow up to 6’ tall, blooms June, July and August. The small white flowers densely packed together can sometimes take on a purple hue; the contrast of these flowers against the dark green foliage is stunning.

Deer resistant.

Butterflies and numerous solitary bees such as sweat bees and carpenter bees as well as bumblebees will visit the flowers.

I still remember the first time I noticed it planted en masse, near the old entrance, at the Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, all in bloom, it was a gorgeous and memorable display. Sadly, do to expansion and changes to the gardens that group of Culver’s root is no longer in that location. But, I look forward to finding it’s new home is at the gardens.
