Physostegia virginiana 'Miss Manners'

Obedient Plant

This popular cultivar is prized for its restrained, non-running, strictly upright habit that won't take over the garden. Strong stems are topped with pure white, snapdragon-like flowers for several months in summer atop the clump of dark green, glossy foliage. Attracts all kinds of pollinators. Breeder: Darrell Probst
