Description
Penstemon digitalis (Early selection) – Beardtongue
Penstemon digitalis (Early selection) is a vigorous, upright perennial chosen for its earlier flowering compared to standard forms. It produces tall spikes of tubular, white to soft pink blossoms from late spring, providing nectar for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds when few other perennials are in bloom. The fresh green foliage forms a tidy clump, making it attractive even out of flower. Reliable, easy to grow, and drought-tolerant once established, this selection is perfect for borders, pollinator gardens, and prairie-style plantings where long-season interest is desired.
