Obedient Plant Also known as False Dragonhead, the Obedient Plant gets its common name because when pushed or moved from its normal position, it will remain in its new fixed position for quite some time. This slender 2-4 ft plant is beautiful, hardy, but can be invasive in a garden setting.

The pink or lavender funnel-shaped flowers are arranged in spikelike clusters along the plant's upper stems.  The lowest flowers bloom first, with flowering proceeding upward along the stem.
