Obedient Plant Live Plant | Physostegia virginiana | Native Pollinator Perennial Starter Plant

Add vibrant late-summer color and pollinator-friendly blooms to your garden with Obedient Plant, a greenhouse-grown starter live plant prized for its tall spikes of tubular pink to lavender flowers, long bloom season, and exceptional wildlife value. Physostegia virginiana, commonly known as Obedient Plant, is a hardy North American native perennial admired for its showy flower spikes and ability to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and native bees. It is an excellent choice for pollinator gardens, rain gardens, native landscapes, cottage gardens, meadow plantings, borders, and naturalized areas. With proper care, it produces abundant blooms from mid-summer through early fall.

Obedient Plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Once established, it adapts well to average garden conditions and spreads gradually to form attractive colonies. Its distinctive snapdragon-like flowers can be gently repositioned on the stem, giving rise to its common name. The nectar-rich blooms provide an important late-season food source for hummingbirds, butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial pollinators, making it a valuable addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.
