Description
Penstemon digitalis (Green-leafed selection) – Beardtongue
Penstemon digitalis (Green-leafed selection) is a hardy, upright perennial admired for its fresh green foliage and tall stems of tubular, white to pale pink flowers. Blooming from late spring into midsummer, its long-lasting blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it a valuable pollinator plant. With its clump-forming habit and tolerance of drought once established, this penstemon is a versatile choice for borders, naturalistic plantings, and prairie-style gardens. Its bright green leaves provide a softer, fresher contrast compared to the darker foliage of ‘Husker’s Red’.
