Compact Summer Blooming Miss Manners Obedient Plant

  • Non-Suckering Physostegia
  • Creamy White Blooms
  • Waxy, Green, Toothed Foliage
  • Full Sun Tolerant
  • Incredible in Mass Planting with Darker Colors

The Miss Manners Obedient Plant (Physostegia virginiana 'Miss Manners') or False Dragonhead, has bright white spiked flowers.

'Miss Manners' blooms from June to September and the waxy, dark green foliage make this plant a little different from other white blooming perennials. So out with the old and in with the new!

It is a noteworthy perennial that is respectful of space in the small garden because of its compact, non-suckering habit. 'Miss Manners' is well mannered and is not as aggressive as most other Physostegia!

For the best growth possible of 18 inches tall and wide, this plant needs a full sun area but will tolerate some afternoon shade, in well-drained soil.

Use 'Miss Manners' in borders, mixed plantings, massed plantings (especially to separate other colors), in large containers or as cut flowers.

Try planting it with darker colors such as Hemerocallis 'Little Business', Platycodon 'Balloon Flower' or Veronica 'Royal Candles'. These darker colors will make 'Miss Manners' pop intensely.

You will find 'Miss Manners' a delight in the garden as it provides a summer-long display of pure white tubular flowers and clean, deep-green, narrow foliage!

Miss Manners Obedient Plant is one of a kind and nearly impossible to resist! Order your very own today at Nature Hills Nursery and make your landscaping come to life!

love these especially the heirloom variety

a wonderful old world plant you don't often see planted

Hello debibaby,

Thank you so much for sharing your love for the Miss Manners Obedient Plant, especially the heirloom variety! We truly appreciate hearing from customers who appreciate these wonderful, old-world gems that aren’t commonly seen in everyday gardens. Their charm and history really do add a unique touch to any outdoor space.

If you're ever looking to care for your Miss Manners plant, remember they thrive best in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Regular watering will help keep them looking their best, but be cautious of overwatering as they prefer things on the drier side once established. Pairing them with other heirloom plants can create a beautiful, nostalgic garden feel!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need any advice or resources on growing or maintaining your plants. We love supporting gardeners who embrace gardening traditions like you do!

Bloom on,
The Nature Hills Plant Knowledge Team
