The most commonly cultivated species is Veronicastrum virginicum, which is native to the Eastern parts of North America.[2] Veronicastrum has previously been part of the Scrophulariaceae family,[3] though when several genera were transferred to other families, it became a member of Plantaginaceae.[4]
