PerennialHeritage Perennial Profile

Here's the complete description for this Heritage Perennial. Drop in any time to see the rest of our collection.

 Plant Number: 1.423.050USDA Zone: 2 - 9 
Physostegia virginiana ‘Bouquet Rose’
Common name :  Obedient Plant
A selection of one of our native North American wildflowers. Plants form an upright, bushy clump of deep green leaves, bearing spikes of deep-pink flowers from midsummer through the fall. Excellent for cutting. Spreads quickly to form a rather large patch, something to keep in mind when placing this in the garden. Prefers rich, moist soil, and will tolerate wet conditions beside a stream or pond. Easily divided every 2 to 3 years in early spring. Clumps usually will need to be staked. Attractive to butterflies.

What others say about this plant...
If you have nothing else to do, you can reposition the individual flowers, which are attached to their stems by the botanical equivalent of a ball-and-socket joint…; Patrick Lima, The Harrowsmith Perennial Garden
