How do I display a custom text-field attribute on the product grid. CE 2.3.2

Question

Sorry if this is a rehash, but I can't find the exact answer to my problem.

I'm looking to display the contents of a custom text field just under the product name on the category page grid.

I have done the following for another custom attribute in list.phtml, and this works:

<p><?php echo $_product->getAttributeText('plug_or_plant') ?></p>

But it only seems to work on attributes that are dropdown lists. Does anybody know what changes I have to make to get it to display a text field?

TIA.

Thanks for your answer. I have done all that already though. I read somewhere that using '$_product->getAttributeText' could be used for dropdowns, but it was something slightly different for text-fields, but I can't find what.

please use below code for text-field <p><?php echo $_product->getData('plug_or_plant') ?></p> or <p><?php echo $_product->getPlugOrPlant() ?></p>
