Nursery contributed plant descriptions

?The star of the family is the pure-white form... the cool white flowers make a welcome note in hot weather? (B. B. Miles); earlier blooming, less of a spreader, to 2', and dazzling! S/M-W
Tall spikes of pure white tubular blooms are borne atop sturdy stems above a rosette of medium green foliage. This is a hardy, perennial native and is a good choice for Butterflies, Hummingbirds, and as a cutflower. Be aware that Obedient plant can be a vigorously spreading perennial and so should be planted in an area where it can naturalize.
