Physostegia correllii (Correll's Obedient Plant)

SunZone: 6-9, guessing 84" tall Origin: USA

Web-Only! This endangered native is found only in a small area in southeast TX and adjacent LA. I will admit it's hard to image how an obedient plant could become endangered, but this is evidently the case. This giant TX species forms large colonies by way of a short, thick rhizome. The crown gives rise to massive 7' tall, 1" thick stems, topped in early July with 12-way branched flower clusters. Each flower is a mauvy pink (RHS 77B), highlighted by dark purple speckles...quite a sight! Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
