Outsidepride White Obedient Plant Seeds (Physostegia virginiana) grow in USDA zones 3-9 and produce white flowers in summer. These perennials reach 18-24 inches tall and prefer full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Our perennial flower seeds can be sown in fall after frost or in spring, with germination taking 10-42 days. The plant spreads through shallow roots that can be controlled by dividing every 2-3 years. Attracting hummingbirds and butterflies, these plants suit landscapes, meadows, and cut flower gardens. Available in 10000 or 5000 flower seed packets.
The stunning white blooms of our Obedient Plant feature tubular flowers that grow along tall spikes, providing vertical interest in the flower garden. These blooms open gradually, extending the flowering period and offering a lasting display of color that complements other plants naturally.
Our Obedient Plant's nectar-rich flowers attract a variety of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, maintaining local pollination processes. By planting these blooms, gardeners contribute to healthy pollinator populations and encourage a balanced, flourishing garden environment.
With their adaptability to various soil types and moisture levels, Obedient Plants demand little ongoing care. Minimal watering is needed once they are established, and dividing every few years helps manage their spread. Deadheading promotes longer blooming, reducing the need for frequent pruning.
Obedient Plants are outdoor perennial plants adaptable to various soils and moisture levels, needing little care. Once established, they require minimal watering. Dividing every few years limits spread, and deadheading extends blooming, reducing the need for frequent pruning.
Adding pure white elegance, the Obedient Plant perennial seeds for planting outdoors increase garden height and structure with their tall flower spikes. Their white blooms reflect sunlight, making shaded areas appear lighter while providing contrast to surrounding plants. These species adapt well to various outdoor garden styles, including borders and meadows, and contribute to outdoor plant collections by blooming over extended periods. Their presence can add depth and layering to gardens, making outdoor spaces more dynamic and visually balanced.
Growing our Obedient Plants successfully involves understanding their key needs. These outdoor perennials bloom in summer, showcasing attractive white flowers that reach heights of 18 to 24 inches. Plant them in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. Regular watering keeps the soil moist but not soggy. Dividing the plants every few years encourages healthy growth and limits spread. Removing spent blooms can extend the flowering period, allowing you to enjoy vibrant white blossoms throughout the summer season.
To plant seeds of the Obedient Plant successfully, follow simple steps for healthy growth. Sow 3-4 seeds per group, spacing groups 18-24 inches apart to provide adequate room. Cover our garden seeds lightly, no deeper than their size, and keep the soil consistently moist. Germination typically occurs within 10-42 days at around 70°F. Fall sowing after several frosts allows seeds to undergo dormancy, encouraging strong spring growth. Spring sowing also works well when temperatures rise. These instructions allow for establishing healthy plants with minimal effort.
Obedient Plant (Physostegia Virginiana White) - Many people refer to Obedient Plant as False Dragonhead. White Obedient Plant makes an excellent cut flower and looks wonderful in a naturalized landscape or meadow-type setting. Propagation is from Obedient Plant seeds, and once it is established, it can be aggressive with spreading stolons. Even though White False Dragonhead can spread aggressively, the shallow roots are easy to pull out, and it can easily be divided in early spring or late fall. Both hummingbirds and butterflies enjoy the nectar from the Obedient Plant flower.
Obedient Plant seeds are easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun. A recommended method of sowing Obedient Plant flower seed is to sow the seed in the fall after several frosts have occurred. The flower seed will lie dormant on the ground until spring temperatures warm. Sow the seed in groups of 3 - 4 spaced 18 - 24 inches apart. Thin Obedient Plant seedlings to the strongest plant. False Dragonhead care includes dividing the plant every 2 - 3 years to control the rhizomatous root system (spreading). Deadheading will also encourage more blooms and also slow down the re-seeding.
