Introducing Obedient Plant, a cheerful native perennial that produces spikes of tubular pink flowers in late summer. This vigorous plant thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 3-9 and provides valuable late-season color when many other plants are fading.

Obedient Plant's adaptability to various soil conditions makes it easy to grow in borders, meadow gardens, and naturalized areas. Growing 3-4 feet tall, the square stems bear opposite, toothed leaves and terminal flower spikes.

This native plant is highly attractive to bumblebees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, making it valuable for pollinator gardens.

Fun Fact: The common name comes from the flowers' unusual ability to remain in position when pushed to one side on the stem—they "obediently" stay where placed.

Bring the playful Obedient Plant to your garden and enjoy its late-summer blooms and interactive flowers.
