This hardy wildflower brings vertical interest and a soft, natural look to prairies, meadow plantings, and cottage-style borders. Its late-season flowers are a valuable nectar source for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent choice for pollinator gardens and wildlife-friendly landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eObedient Plant gets its common name from its flexible stems, which allow individual flowers to be gently bent into place and stay there temporarily. It spreads by rhizomes to form attractive colonies, filling in sunny borders and rain gardens with lush green foliage topped by cheerful pink blooms from midsummer into fall.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative perennial wildflower with tall spikes of pink, tubular blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong bloom season from summer into early fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreads by rhizomes to form naturalized colonies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent for prairie plantings, meadows, and rain gardens\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 Summer 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 directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature around 65 to 70°F. Germination typically occurs in 14 to 30 days. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, harden them off and transplant outdoors after the last frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny to partially shaded location with moist, well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help plants establish. Obedient Plant can spread aggressively in ideal conditions; divide clumps every 2 to 3 years or plant in containers to control spread. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continued flowering, or leave seed heads for winter interest and birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Physostegia virginiana seeds for planting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739755151670,"sku":"EDNA-231","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7808201065_2vhq.jpg?v=1792115162","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/physostegia-virginiana-50-seeds-obedient-plant-pink-native-perennial-for-pollinator-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
