Culver’s root is a moderately slow-growing, native perennial that blooms a unique flower in July/September resembling the shape of a candelabrum. This plant grows well in pollinator mixes, attracting many different bees, butterflies, and moths, while deterring deer browse due to a strong fragrance and bitter taste. The common name likely developed from an 18th century herbalist who popularized the plant as a treatment for ailments. Many Native American tribes used Culver’s root medicinally as well, treating coughs, fever, and even pain relief during childbirth.
