Penstemon davidsonii
Davidson's Beardtongue
Description
Huge, lavender-pink flowers held over its dark green, evergreen foliage combine to make this Davidson's Beardtongue a fantastic little garden shrub. Normally a finicky species, our selected form of Penstemon davidsonii (propagated by cuttings from one original plant), has proven itself to be easy-to-grow and long-lived in lean, well-drained soil. 8-10" tall x 12-15" wide. It does best in full sun in sandy soil. Pinkish purple flowers bloom from late spring through summer. Established plants are drought tolerant. Deer resistant. Attracts hummingbirds.
