Penstemon digitalis

from $8.50

Penstemon digitalis | foxglove beardtongue

Penstemon digitalis is an easy-to-grow, no fuss native plant. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, and is appreciated by gardeners and insects alike for its relatively early flowering period that begins in late spring. And unlike other early-flowering plants, Penstemon digitalis has a relatively long flowering period. Multiple plants can be grouped together for mass effect in a garden bed, or be interspersed among grasses and other forbs in true meadow style. After flowering, the plants’ upright stems support reddish-brown seed capsules that provide interest throughout the fall and winter months. If seed heads are removed, plants still offer winter interest with semi-evergreen basal foliage.
