Naturally found in floodplains and other moist habitat, Obedient Plant is a tough customer that competes well with weeds in both sunny and partially shaded conditions. Often too aggressive for small raingardens, this pollinator is a great addition to larger stormwater plantings, swales, shorelines and wet meadows.
