Physostegia correllii
Commonly known as Correll's False Dragonhead
Correll's false dragonhead is an endangered, water-loving perennial that once occurred in several areas in Texas, Louisiana, and Mexico but is now restricted to two or three sites in Louisiana and one possible site in Travis County, Texas (Poole 2001; Singhurst 2001). Its current status in Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Sonora, Mexico is unknown. Physostegia correllii bears lavender snapdragon-like flowers in July on tall slender stalks that can reach 7' tall, but more often only grow to about 4' tall.
Historically these plants occurred in wetland habitats of the Gulf Coastal region of TX and LA and inland into TX and Mexico. The remaining populations occur in many diverse, unstable wetland habitats: stream sides, roadside ditches and irrigation canals.
Spreads by rhizomes. Can thrive in average garden conditions with moist to wet soils.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
