This plant has grown so fast it's incredible! I can't wait to watch it flower, but until then it looks great.
I’m updating a review I wrote for the Cupid Culver’s Root. In my previous review, I had left only 1 star because my first order didn’t come up and I was having a hard time reaching anyone for a replacement. I’m happy to say that Holland Bulbs is making good on their promise to replace or refund us on plants that don’t thrive. They are sending replacements. I will update again after I receive them and know how they are growing. Holland Bulbs has the fastest shipping time of anyone I have ever bought from and out of many orders, this was the first time I ever had a problem. Thanks Holland Bulbs!
I didn't know what to expect when I ordered Cupid Culver's Root, but I am now a big fan of this less-known perennial. It is a star in my zone 7b north Georgia garden. (I also saw it growing equally well at the Alaska Botanical Garden!) The bare root plants I received from Holland Bulbs were healthy, and I planted them right away when I received them in March. The first season they grew about 18 inches tall and had nice blooms, but I was really blown away in the second season, when they grew to almost 4-feet tall and were covered with multiple bloom spikes each. Visitors to my garden would stand spell-bound, watching the pollinators come and go from the blossoms. Along with the blossoms, which last for several weeks mid-summer, the slar-shaped leaves add interesting texture throughout the season.
