Description

Penstemon digitalis, or Beardtongue, is an eastern US native wildflower fit for a summertime daydream. Charming, white to pastel pink blooms float high above the foliage on strong stems in early summer. The flowers' tubular shape makes them a special treat for hummingbirds and butterflies.

Penstemon digitalis Beardtongue is a versatile perennial that can handle sun to light shade, and gritty soil to clay soil with poor drainage. It will need consistent moisture until it is established.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.

We are currently not able to ship to Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and outside of the US.
