Fat, pastel pink blooms with white throats grace the 24-30” tall stems June thru fall. This Beard Tongue has a dense, clumping habit and an upright, rounded form in the garden. Full sun, decent soils, average water. A reliable performer. Like most Penstemon, cut back to the ground before new growth starts in spring.
