Physostegia virginiana

from $8.50

Physostegia virginiana | obedient plant

Sometimes you need a break from summer’s endless parade of yellow flowers. Enter obedient plant, coming into bloom in late summer and drawing attention with its dense flower spikes in soft shades of pale pink. With obedient as its common name, one might guess that this species is well-behaved and mild mannered. The common name, however, refers only to a floral characteristic. The plants themselves, when grown in sunny, moist conditions, can be quite rambunctious spreaders, so allow ample space for this one. Highly regarded for its long bloom time, Physostegia virginiana also makes a great cut flower for late-season bouquets.
