HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the Physostegia Angustifolia seeds with moist sand and store them in the refrigerator for 60 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination. The showy white obedient plant seed can also be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting in the spring.
Growing: Water seedlings until they become established. Mature plants also prefer moist soil and will benefit from watering in dry weather. In especially moist or fertile soil, the stems may need support or staking. If seeds are not required, cut the plant back after blooming has finished. Mature plants can be divided every 2-3 years. This plant will spread by rhizomes and reseeding to form a natural colony, and is highly attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Deer tend to avoid this white obedient plant.
Harvesting: For cut flowers, choose stems with flowers that have just opened. Strip the foliage that will fall below the water level, and place in water immediately.
Seed Saving: After the flowers fade, small pods will form that eventually open and release their seeds. As soon as the pods open, shake them over a container to remove the seed; watch them carefully to prevent loss, since the seeds can easily be blown away by the wind. Store the Physostegia Angustifolia seed in a cool, dry place.

Quality seeds
I buy from Everwilde because they have a good selection of quality seed; dated and well-packaged, with quick delivery. We have a 1.5 acre wildflower field, to which we continue to add additional flowers. We mow it in late October, then broadcast new seeds for winter and then spring germination. Many of these flowers have popped up throughout the field.
