Penstemon barbatus (Bearded Penstemon)

Bejeweled™ 'Rose Rhinestones'

Deep rose pink tubular flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Like all of our Penstemons, this one takes the heat and humidity in stride but is also very cold hardy. Penstemons are very drought tolerant perennials that are easy to grow and are rarely bothered by insects or diseases. Plant them in full sun and watch as hummingbirds feast on their delicious nectar.

  • »  Upright spikes rosy pink flowers
  • »  Long blooming
  • »  Excellent cut flower
  • »  Perfect for borders or mass planting

Penstemons should be grown in full sun and very well-drained soil to avoid root rot. Soil fertility need only be average, but a light mulch in winter is recommended. Use Penstemons in the border, for naturalizing, and for cut flowers.
