It just kind of showed up this year in my bog area. I didn't know for sure if it was going to be anything showy until it bloomed. It's a nice touch since it's tall and in the kind of in the middle. I've yet to find out if it's invasive.

I've had this plant in my zone 5-6 garden for 3 years. This far north (Toronto area) it blooms mid-late August for several weeks & puts on a lovely display when many other plants have finished for the season. No special care required other than keeping new plants well watered until established. Staking may be required for mature plants. I have found this plant to be very invasive as it readily re-seeds all over the garden & could easily take over if left unchecked. Excess plants transplant very easily by digging out a clump a moving elsewhere. New transplants should be well watered & these suffer absolutely no transplant shock. A very hardy plant in our zone. Very easy to grow.

There aren't many plants that will be this showy while growing in shady bog garden conditions. These one bloom for about three weeks in late May, early June here in Zone 8b, Central Texas. If happy, they'll spread slowly but surely, forming a wide drift that is gorgeous in bloom. I haven't tried to transplant them into other conditions, so don't know how well they'd do.
Obedient plants get their name from the curious tendency of the stems to stay put when you bend them.
