False dragonhead is also often called obedient plant. It received this latter moniker because of the property of the flowers to remain in place after being twisted or moved into new positions. The species is a native to much of eastern and central North America.

Missouriplants.com contains a number of additional photographs of the species and the Kemper Center for Home Gardening provides a gardening factsheet.
