Penstemon digitalis, also known as foxglove beardtongue, is prized for its upright spikes of tubular, white to pale pink flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Tolerates heat, drought, and a range of soils as long as drainage is good, making it an excellent choice for prairie restorations, pollinator gardens, and mixed perennial borders. Low maintenance and deer-resistant, it benefits from deadheading to prolong bloom and occasional division every few years to maintain vigor.
