Miss Manners Obedient Plant

Physostegia virginiana 'Miss Manners'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial

Plant Family: Lamiaceae

Plant Description: A well-behaved North American wildflower that forms a clean, compact clump. It is non-spreading and produces white snapdragon-like blooms that make a nice cut flower. This cultivar is less prone to flopping.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous

Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
