The purple spikes of Veronicastrum virginicum 'Cupid’ are thicker and stockier than other cultivars. Blooms are a magnet for bees and other pollinators, and are excellent for cutting.
For best results grow Veronicastrum virginicum ‘Cupid’ in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering. Mulch with well-rotted manure or compost in autumn and divide congested clumps in spring.
