Product Details
One of the smaller penstemons, this one makes a wonderful garden plant with its neat habit and stunning reddish stems and leaves.

There are over 250 penstemon species, mostly native to our western states and Mexico. Their flowers range from blue to white to red, with several bicolors. The common name, "Bearded Tongue" may surprise wildflower gardeners, since many of the the wild penstemons are called "Beardtongue." But according to Allan Armitage and other perennial experts, "Bearded Tongue" is the correct common name for the perennials.
