The White Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana ‘Alba’) is a striking native perennial known for its tall spikes of pure white, snapdragon-like flowers that bloom from late summer into fall. Its name comes from the “obedient” flowers that stay in place when gently pushed to the side. A vigorous grower, this perennial is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds while adding elegant vertical interest to sunny borders, naturalized areas, and pollinator gardens.
