Everything I needed to know about this plant was in this video! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
-
What a beautiful plant! Your videos always make me want to grow whatever species you feature
-
I have a white one, and it is so much fun to watch the bees climbing into the flowers. Thank you very much for the video!
-
It’s a beautiful flower. We started a butterfly garden this year and I think this would fit in so nicely. I think I’ll try your technique for keeping it from spreading too much. I know you’re not sure it will work yet, but I bet it will as it’s a great idea. Thanks for all the well planned and well thought out information. You do a great job in describing and showing every aspect of the plant and that is so helpful.

I saw these plants growing wild in my backyard and thought it was just a wild bush growing there , so I pulled them out, but I missed a few to my surprise one morning I noticed purple flowers emerging. I was elated. From trash to treasure, I was able to use the flowers for my photo assignment. Thanks for sharing Ellen

The bumble bees in particular absolutely love my obedient plant, but boy oh boy does it spread fast.

Obedient plant was a winter-sowing fail for me this year, but watching your video inspires me to give it another try!

Beautiful flower 👌 nice creation 👍thank you for bringing our attention🌸🌸🌸

Love your videos

I had no idea it can spread by root.Great news!
-
I bought the "Pink Miss Manners" last year and it stayed in a nice clump. Time will tell if it spreads. I love the white one and will look for a plant or seeds to grow it. Reminds me of Foxglove and much safer to have in garden. Thank you for the video. I have some seeds I am going to get started right now.

Very informative video, I had no idea obedience was in the mint family and that explains its invasive tendencies. I've had it in my garden along the back of our fence for years and the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds love it! We also have clay soil so that also explains why I have to clear so much out every spring. Thank you for sharing, I'm a new subscriber and find your videos very helpful!
