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 family Scrophulariaceae.[3] However, following recent genetic studies, several genera were transferred to other families including Veronicastrum, transferred to Plantaginaceae.[4]
