Vivid Obedient Plant
Physostegia virginiana 'Vivid'
 
Vibrant, upright, and easy to grow, Vivid Obedient Plant brings bold color and vertical interest to the late summer garden. This compact cultivar features dense spikes of vivid pink-purple tubular flowers that bloom from mid to late summer, attracting bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds in abundance. The name "obedient plant" comes from the fun characteristic that each flower will stay in place when gently repositioned on the stem.
 
With its strong stems and clumping habit, ‘Vivid’ is an excellent choice for borders, pollinator gardens, and naturalized areas. Unlike taller varieties, this selection is more restrained and better behaved, making it suitable for smaller garden spaces while still providing a showy floral display.
Tolerant of a wide range of soils and moisture levels, it performs best in full sun with consistent moisture but can adapt to light shade and heavier soils. It’s a low-maintenance perennial that delivers reliable late-season color year after year.
 
Bring energy and pollinator power to your garden with Vivid Obedient Plant—a bright, compact bloomer that lights up the landscape when many others are fading.
