Obedient Plant

About this plant

Standing tall in early autumn through late summer, 'Pink Manners' flaunts an abundance of vibrant pink, snapdragon-like flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies alike. Its unique stems allow you to gently bend individual flowers into various positions, where they'll obediently stay, providing endless amusement, hence its charming common name. This robust and adaptable perennial thrives in various garden settings, from cottage gardens to naturalized areas. Its upright growth creates a striking vertical element and it spreads politely to form appealing clumps, offering a dynamic display without being overly aggressive. 'Pink Manners' is an excellent choice for a splash of late-season color, particularly when planted in mass or as a backdrop for shorter plants. It also makes a delightful cut flower, bringing its vibrant charm indoors.

Care & maintenance
