Physotegia Virginiana: The Obedient Plant

(physostegia virginiana photo found at photobucket.com under creative commons)

Physotegia Virginiana is a lovely flower that blooms in September through October. The flower grows throughout the southeastern United States and is indigenous to central and northern Alabama. They grow in moisture rich soils that are dense. Their rhizomes will spread and the plant will multiply quickly.

The plant is native to the United States. Most of the flowers and trees that I have mentioned here that becomes a nuisance come from tropical rich areas that
love sunshine and rich soil. This little native flower will multiply like that. The flower is sometimes called the False Dragonhead due to the blossom's head favoring in sight.  The flower belongs to the mint family.  It is a great filler for flower gardens because it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
