Saw this beautiful view this morning where i live and wonder what the plants were and found out they were Physostegia lions heart obedient plant. And wondered why someone would grow a crop of these?. Only reason i can think is they attract bees.

looks like phacelia which is a green manure crop. also they have to grow the crop if they want to harvest the seeds to sell.

Just re read your question, who told you it was Physostegia? I cant think of a reason to grow it other than for seed for the flower industry or as a cut flower. I grow the pale pink form in the garden and it doesn't start flowering until July for me.
any chance of a close up of the flowers/leaves? I am curious now.

I thought i knew it when i first saw it although i only knew the blue ones so i typed it it in and up it came.When i next go that way i will take a close up and enter a new question.
