Penstemon, commonly known as beardtongue, is a hardy flowering perennial sold in a 3.86-quart container, ideal for adding vibrant color to garden beds, borders, and landscape plantings. The 12-inch plant arrives ready for transplanting into your garden.

Penstemon produces tall spires of tubular, foxglove-like flowers in shades of pink, purple, red, blue, or white, blooming from late spring through midsummer. The flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, making this an excellent pollinator-friendly plant. With hundreds of species and cultivars available, penstemon suits a wide range of garden styles, from cottage gardens to xeriscape designs.

This perennial thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Once established, it is drought tolerant, heat tolerant, and resistant to deer and rabbits. It requires minimal maintenance and will naturalize readily in the right conditions, often self-seeding and returning year after year.
