Penstemon pallidus - Pale Beardtongue. This is a showy herbaceous perennial that is
considered a “downy” perennial because the stems, leaves, stalks, and flowers have an
inconsistent density. A rosette of basil leaves gives way to branching stems with narrow green leaves. At the top of the stems are numerous long white tubular two-lipped flowers: three lobes on the bottom and two lobes on the top that when mature, will open up and spill out a multitude of tiny black seeds! This flower has been named Beardtongue because of the puff of tiny hairs on the sterile stamen. It is happiest in hot and humid climates in full sun, has a blooming season that ranges from May to June, and will grow between 1.5 – 2.5 feet tall. A great feature of this plant is that it is drought tolerant. These flowers will attract pollinators to your gardens such as Butterflies and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These do well in beds and borders in the garden. You don’t want to miss out on this plant find, it will surely add a nice flare to your Summer garden!
