Physostegia angustifolia, commonly known as Narrowleaf False Dragonhead or Obedient Plant, is a deciduous perennial herb native to moist meadows, stream banks, and wet prairies in the Central and Southeastern United States. It typically grows to a height of 2-4 feet (0.6-1.2 meters) and a width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters). The plant features lance-shaped leaves and produces spikes of tubular, snapdragon-like pink flowers from late summer to fall, which are particularly attractive to bees and butterflies.

Narrowleaf False Dragonhead is valued for its showy flowers and ability to naturalize in suitable conditions. It is often used in perennial borders, wildflower gardens, and as a cut flower due to its long vase life. This plant thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers moist, well-drained soils, but it is adaptable to various soil conditions. While it is generally easy to maintain, it can spread aggressively by rhizomes and may require control measures to prevent it from dominating garden spaces.CC BY-SA 4.0
