    Culvers Root (seed)

    Veronicastrum virginicum
    Family: Scrophulariaceae
    Herbaceous perennial. Native to eastern and central North America. Produces
    beautiful spikes of showy white flowers in the second year. Definitely one of the
    most remarked-upon plants in medicinal gardens, it is also a valuable plant drug of
    long-standing reputation. The roots must be dried and aged for at least a year before
    use, or they will create unpleasant intestinal griping. The aged root is gently laxative
    and tonifying to the liver, used mainly in cases of dyspepsia, indigestion, chronic
    diarrhea, jaundice and inflammation of the liver. Cultivation: Extra care. Press seed
    into surface of flat in very early spring and water carefully. Needs a period of at least
    2 weeks of cold conditioning before it will germinate, but does so quite completely
    and vigorously once correct conditions are met. Space transplants 2 feet apart.
    Grows 4 to 6 feet tall.
