Physostegia virginiana (False Dragonhead) is a beautiful, easy-to-grow perennial known for its elegant spikes of tubular pink to lavender flowers that bloom from late summer to early fall. Also called the Obedient Plant, this charming flower adds vertical interest and attracts pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds to your garden.

Usage:
Perfect for perennial borders, cottage gardens, wildflower gardens, and naturalized areas. The dense flower spikes make excellent cut flowers, and the plant’s long bloom period brightens gardens late into the season.

  • Direct sow outdoors in spring or early summer after frost danger has passed.
