Beardtongue - Dark Towers

Penstemon 'Dark Towers', also known as Beardtongue, is a striking perennial that effortlessly combines beauty and functionality in the garden. Its glossy, deep burgundy foliage provides year-round visual interest, while elegant spikes of soft pink, tubular flowers bloom from late spring to midsummer. Loved by pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies, this drought-tolerant plant is an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, 'Dark Towers' grows up to 30 inches tall, making it perfect for borders, mixed beds, or cottage gardens. With its deer resistance and low-maintenance nature, it’s a versatile choice for gardeners seeking dramatic foliage and long-lasting blooms.
