Physostegia virginiana
Description
Very long lasting, easy to care for and sometimes vigourous labiate plant. The common name comes from the fact that the flowers can swivel and bend to the left or right making it look as if the plant obeys something or someone. The Obedient Plant is a pleasant garden or border plant that, depending on the variety, flowers with bright lilac or white spikes that are produced from mid summer until early autumn and are good cut flowers. A few new breeding products flower first year from seed and are suitable as container perennials for sale in late summer.
