Growing the 'Miss Manners' obedient plant is a joy even for complete beginners, because this cultivar, unlike its wild relatives, is very well-behaved and does not form invasive runners. For successful growth, choose a location in full sun or light partial shade. Soil and moisture are key for this plant. The obedient plant loves humous, loamy soil and handles even heavier clay soil well, as long as it is not permanently soggy. It is crucial that the soil does not dry out – it is an ideal plant for the moister parts of the garden, near downspouts or on the banks of ponds. Drought does not suit it, so it will not thrive in sandy and dry places without very frequent watering.
Plant the seedlings in prepared soil enriched with compost, which will help retain moisture. Maintain a spacing of approximately 50 cm (4 to 6 plants per square meter) so that the plants have enough space for air circulation, although this cultivar does not suffer from diseases or pests. Water the plant thoroughly after planting and monitor the moisture throughout the first season until the seedlings are sufficiently rooted.
The obedient plant is a fantastic cut flower. Cut the flowers for a vase the moment the first lower blossoms on the spike open; they will last up to two weeks in water. If you leave them in the flowerbed, they will bloom from August to October and attract plenty of bees and bumblebees. Do not cut the faded stems in the autumn. They are sturdy, do not flop over, and look beautiful in winter when covered with frost. Cut the dry stems back close to the ground only early in the spring to make room for new shoots. Frost resistance is excellent (down to -34 °C), so the plant needs no winter protection.
You often ask if the obedient plant can be grown in containers. Yes, the 'Miss Manners' cultivar is suitable for containers thanks to its compact growth (60–80 cm) and non-aggressive spreading. However, you must choose a sufficiently large pot and remember its high moisture requirements. In a container, the soil dries out much faster than in a flowerbed, so daily watering will be necessary, even twice a day on hot days. The use of self-watering containers is ideal and will provide the plant with the necessary comfort.
