This Penstemon is a drought-tolerant flowering plant. It produces a wealth of brilliant scarlet, red, and pink tubular flowers with white throats. From June to September, this perennial will reward you with non-stop blooming.

This Penstemon is also called called Beardtongue. Easily established from Penstemon seeds, it is a great addition to any xeriscape flower garden with its deep bronze-green foliage and various color blooms. Penstemon Beard Tongue is native to Mexico and does well in warm climates. It will grow as a perennial in frost free or mild winters and as an annual in other zones.

Beardtongue will tolerate and even thrive in poor soils, but it requires relatively good drainage. Full sun in cool climates and partial shade in the hottest areas is preferred. Penstemon Hartwegii care includes little water once established as it is resistant to drought.
