“Culver’s Root, a Lighthouse for Pollinators”
“Culver’s Root can offer a strong upright accent to any perennial garden or prairie/savanna. It’s an elegant unbranched plant, reaching heights of 5′ with candelabra-like spikes of white flowers that open from the bottom up mid-summer. 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. Culver’s Root is the host plant for the Common Buckeye butterfly.
Pollination Facts:
*Pollinators Attracted: Long- and short-tongued bees, honey bees, bumblebees, mason bees, green metallic bees, masked bees, sphecid wasps, butterflies, moths, and syrphid flies.
*Unique Features: The plant’s candelabra-like, tall flower spikes are often packed with insects and provide essential nectar, particularly in late spring to early summer.
*Preferred Pollinators: Honey bees, bumblebees, and various native bees are particularly drawn to the plant, which often hums with activity.
*Bloom Time & Height: It blooms from June to August (sometimes starting in May), with spikes reaching 3–6 feet tall, making it a dramatic addition to pollinator gardens.
*Habitat & Nectar: The plant thrives in full sun to partial shade, typically in moist to wet soils, providing nectar for bees and butterflies.

All orders will be shipped in 3-10 business days via USPS Priority mail, UPS or FedEx, depending on the size of the item and whether framing was desired. For medium to larger works, and if crating is needed to safely ship, it will be UPS or FedEX. USPS can ship larger works but it is a lot more expensive!
If I anticipate framing will take longer for any reason, I will reach out and let you know! You will receive a tracking number via email once the work has shipped.
