Penstemon barbatus
Bejeweled™ 'Pink Pearls' Bearded Penstemon
Medium 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. It continues to provide terrific color in the landscape all season long. 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 of coral-pink flowers
- » Blooms May to July
- » Tubular flowers attract hummingbirds
- » Perfect for borders or rock gardens
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.
