Description

Physostegia virginiana – White Obedient Plant

Physostegia virginiana, commonly known as the Obedient Plant, is a hardy, clump-forming perennial named for its unique flowers that can be gently repositioned on the stem and will stay in place. This white-flowering selection produces upright spikes of pure white, snapdragon-like blossoms from late summer into autumn, providing reliable colour when many perennials are fading. Attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, it thrives in moist, well-drained soils but is tolerant of a range of conditions once established.
