Physostegia, the lionshearts[1] or false dragonheads (in reference to their similarity to Dracocephalum), is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae, native to North America (United States, Canada, northern Mexico).[2][3] They are erect rhizomatous herbaceous perennials inhabiting damp, sunny places. They grow up to 2 m (7 ft) tall with purple or pink tubular flowers in racemes in summer.[4]

Физостегия (лат. Physostegia, от др.-греч. φῦσα — «пузырь» и στέγη — «покров») — род многолетних растений семейства Яснотковые[2]. По причине того, что у многих видов Физостегии цветок, отклонённый в сторону, сохраняет приданное ему положение, их называют «послушными растениями»[2].
