Also known as Penstemon, these Beardtongue plants are truly a lovable flowering perennial that could lighten up your garden. Its features include lance-shaped foliage and spikes of tubular flowers, colored in purple, white and pink and yellow (on rare occasions). Its name ‘Beardtongue' refers to the the pollen-free stamen that protrudes from the flower, resembling a bearded iris in this aspect. Plant your Beardtongue in an area that receives full sun as adequate sun exposure helps the tall stalks stay upright and not droop. They tolerate drought, but 1 inch of water per week in the summer will keep plants vigorous and promote better blooming.
