Blooming from midsummer into early fall, it adds vertical interest and late-season color to borders, cottage gardens, and naturalized meadow plantings. Its flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a valuable addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis adaptable North American native tolerates a range of conditions, from moist prairies to woodland edges, and naturalizes readily in the garden. The common name refers to the flexible stems, which allow individual flowers to be gently bent into place and remain briefly where positioned. Whether used in rain gardens, cut flower arrangements, or wildlife plantings, Obedient Plant offers reliable, low-maintenance beauty year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative perennial wildflower with tall, upright flower spikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduces tubular pink to lavender blooms from summer to early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for cut flowers, borders, and naturalized areas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTolerates moist soils and spreads to form colonies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Physostegia virginiana\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moist, well-drained soil; tolerates clay and wet sites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to high; keep soil consistently moist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, clump-forming, spreads by rhizomes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Hardiness Zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 to 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Midsummer to early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 4 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 to 24 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow Obedient Plant seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow outdoors in late fall for natural cold stratification. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface without covering deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the medium consistently moist and maintain a temperature around 65 to 70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14 to 30 days, though cold stratification can improve results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Choose a site with full sun to partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Mature plants are low-maintenance; divide clumps every 2 to 3 years to control spread and maintain vigor. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads for winter interest and wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana) seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67726881620278,"sku":"BOTAN4-103","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7664390250_rhxs.jpg?v=1791980158","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/obedient-plant-seeds-physostegia-virginiana-native-perennial-wildflower-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
