PHYSOSTEGIA 



(False Dragon Head, or The Obedient Plant) 



Physostegias, of which we illustrated the improved variety Vivid in colors 

 in our Garden Book of 1930, are among the most appreciated and popular 

 summer and fall flowering plants of our gardens; not only for garden display 

 but their long spikes of heather-like flowers render them very valuable also as 

 cut flowers. 



Physostegias will succeed in almost any position where they will have a 

 fair amount of sunshine; they are attractive in growth and foliage from the 

 time they start into growth in early spring until they finish flowering in the 

 autumn. 



The name "Obedient Plant" has been bestowed upon the Physostegia due 

 to the curious fact that the individual flowers can be turned to any angle or 

 position on the stem in which they will remain just as placed. 

 Virginica. Bright but soft pink. 3 to 5 feet. 



— Alba. Very fine pure white. 



— Vivid. The new variety, grows from 18 to 24 inches high with flowers of 

 greater size and of a brilliant effective shade of bright mauve that is out- 

 standing in any garden and in any color combination.
