Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Grows best in an average to moist, or wet soil, in full sun to partial shade. It is important to remove any reverted green foliage early, as this can quickly contaminate the variegation of the plant. Prune in late spring to establish a compact, bushy habit and to prevent the plant from flopping over.

Additional Notes about Variegated Obedient Plant:


The common name "obedient plant" refers to the stems which can be bent and arranged into new positions.
