Physostegia virginiana, Obedient plant, gets its name from an unusual trait, when you turn the flowers by pushing them sideways, they stay there. Pink forms are more common, but a white form is shown here. The plant's maximum height is around 4 feet. Flowering occurs early to late summer above deep green, toothed leaves. Obedient plant is quite sturdy and tolerates a number of soil types.
