Obedient Plant, False Dragonhead, Physostegia virginiana
|
|
Obedient plant or False Dragonhead as it is sometimes called, is native to the Mid-Atlantic region. This plant comes in white or pink, this one being pink. These plants bloom a little later in the season, when many other perennials are done for the year, making for great late summer to fall color. They are long time bloomers too. I have actually had mine bloom from August through November when finally the cold frost got it. It came back four-fold in the spring. The name Obedient plants comes from the fact that if you adjust it petals into a certain position, they will remain that way, thus it is “obedient” and makes a nice cut flower. The plant will come to you in a 3.5 inch pot. Soak thoroughly before planting. Water regularly until established and regularly during times of drought.
Description: This plant grows to about 3 ft. Pink tubular flowers in dense terminal spikes.
Culture: Full Sun to partial shade, moist well drained soil, will tolerate poor drainage, but tends to become aggressive in over-moist areas. Bloom time: late summer - fall. Zones 2 - 9.
Companion plants: Goldernrod, Asters, Boneset, Blue Lobelia, Turtlehead
Wildlife benefit: Hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers which provide nectar for southern fall migration.

Native plant range and our shipping (PLEASE READ)
Most of our plants are also found native to the Midwest, however that is generally the extent of their range. In an effort to keep our native plants native to their natural range, we do not ship west of the Great Plain States. This includes Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Idaho, Utah, Nevada, California, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Hawaii. If you live in these states, please do not order.
