Penstemon digitalis

Foxglove Beardtongue (Penstemon digitalis) is a perennial native wildflower known for its upright growth habit, typically reaching 3 to 5 feet tall. It thrives in full sun to part shade and is adaptable to a range of soil moisture conditions, from dry to moist, making it versatile for many garden settings. The plant produces showy white tubular flowers in late spring to early summer, attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Foxglove Beardtongue is drought-tolerant once established and prefers well-drained soils, though it can handle occasional wetness. For best flowering and growth, provide at least 3-4 hours of sunlight daily.
