    More "obedient" in the garden than regular obedient plant... a little shorter, and hasn't multiplied or spread much in the 2 years that I've had it. Still prone to sprawling, so if you want upright stems for your vase you'll need to stake it. I really like the variegation, which stays crisp & white from spring to fall.
