Tips to Grow  Physostegia 

  1. Arrange good quality Physostegia seeds.
  2. The soil should be well-drained and evenly moist, but not wet or soggy.
  3. Obedient plants can be started from seed. about two months before planting out or divide existing clumps in the spring. If planting from seeds outdoors, plant the seeds just below the surface of the soil in groups of about two to three seeds spaced about 18 to 24 inches apart.
  4. If you’re sowing the seeds in containers indoors, the planting depth will be the same.
  5. It will take about a week for seeds to germinate. Once the plants are a few inches tall, they can be transplanted to your garden a few weeks after the last frost.
