Physostegia virginiana

            Wakehurst Place and Gardens near Haywards Heath, West Sussex.

It's three years since we last visited this garden ... definitely time for another walk round. They are doing major restoration work on the house, but the gardens are looking good.

There have been some changes here and there. There was a woven willow sculpture trail in one area of woodland. It was still a bit early for the peak of the autumn leaf colour, but it's beginning. The prairie meadow is coming along nicely. The first few fungi were appearing. And lots of cheeky pheasants and other birds!

Physostegia, the lionshearts or false dragonheads (in reference to their similarity to Dracocephalum), is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae, native to North America (United States, Canada, northern Mexico).

They are erect rhizomatous herbaceous perennials inhabiting damp, sunny places. They grow up to 2 metres (6 ft) tall with purple or pink tubular flowers in racemes in summer.

The most commonly grown species is Physostegia virginiana. Physostegia virginiana, the obedient plant, is native to North America, where it is distributed from eastern Canada to northern Mexico. Physostegia are known commonly as obedient plants because a flower pushed to one side will often stay in that position.
