Why would a plant be considered "obedient"? Grow Physostegia in your garden and discover why! Florists love these flowers because they can press the flowers into the position they prefer, and they obediently stay right there! Apart from this fun trick, you'll love the stately flower spikes with their lilac-pink to white florets, and the fact that this perennial will give you years of pleasure in exchange for very little care. This old-fashioned favourite will soon become your favourite too!
