Penstemon – Blackbeard Beardtongue
$15.99
Ahoy matey! You’ll be in on the treasure with Blackbeard Beardtongue, Penstemon. This jewel steals the show with its deep eggplant foliage and lilac flowers. Blackbeard was a famous English pirate known for his black facial hair. The name of this hardy perennial is a play on words from the common name for Penstemon, Beardtongue. Attractive dark burgundy seed pods follow the flowering performance for extended seasonal interest. Blackbeard Beardtongue stays strictly upright all season long.
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. Use Blackbeard Beardtongue in perennial and cottage gardens. Penstemons are very drought tolerant perennials that are easy to grow and are rarely bothered by insects or diseases. Don’t be surprised when you see hummingbirds feasting on their delicious nectar.
