Obedient Plant
Physostegia virginiana
Description
The Obedient Plant is a hardy perennial known for its spikes of tubular, snapdragon-like flowers that can be pink, white, or purple. It gets its common name from the way flowers stay in place when positioned manually, which seems 'obedient.' Its native range includes the eastern United States, and it typically grows in moist meadows, stream banks, and prairies.
