For years the name Obedient Plant was a bit of a garden joke since this group of plants were such aggressive garden sprawlers, but this American Beauties selection lives up to its name, holding its place in the garden without flopping, while providing great color and a great source of food for garden critters. 'Miss Manners' is known for its strong stems that emerge from the soil and grow straight up, forming a plant with a tall, narrow profile that is covered in dark green, long, narrow, almost waxy leaves. Long bud groups top these stems and open all summer with pure white, snapdragon-like flowers that colorful butterflies love. 'Miss Manners' prefers a sunny area and will really put on a show planted in groups.
