Latin Physostegia virginiana
Perennial - Zone 3
The Crystal Peak White Physostegia, also known as obedient plant, is a compact, hardy perennial known for its elegant spikes of pure white flowers. Blooming from summer to early fall, it attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a great choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil, growing up to 12-18 inches tall. Its upright growth habit and long-lasting blooms make it ideal for borders, cottage gardens, and cut flower arrangements.
Growing Physostegia is easy, making it a great addition to low-maintenance gardens. Start indoors for an early start to the growing season. Sow the seeds 6-8 weeks before the last frost in a well-draining seed-starting mix. Keep them in a warm location with plenty of light, maintaining a temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) for optimal germination. Once the seedlings develop strong roots and the risk of frost has passed, harden them off before transplanting them outdoors. This method helps ensure healthy, early blooms in your garden.
