Introducing – The Obedient Native Plant

The Obedient Plant is a native flower of North America that grows 4′ tall in full sun with moist to medium soil.

Obedient plant gets it’s common name from the fact that one can bend a flower to the side, and it will stay put.

It attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It blooms tall spikes of pink tubular flowers for six weeks in late Summer.

The native range of Obedient Plant is North America, East of the Rocky Mountains, with the exceptions of Florida, Connecticut and Massachusetts. So it should grow in variety of climates.

Here is a video describing how the Obedient Plant is obedient.
