How to care for Physostegia virginiana Crystal Peak White:
Tolerant of a wide range of soil moistures, Physostegia thrives in boggy conditions. Support with brushwood or stakes in late spring before the flowers appear. After flowering cut back the faded stems to the ground to encourage new growth from the base of the plant. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the plant in early spring.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
