The lance-shaped, wine-red foliage of Penstemon digitalis 'Husker Red' emerges in spring to bring splendid contrast color to the garden. Panicles of two-lipped, tubular, white- to blush-pink flowers appear on upright stems in mid-spring, welcoming hummingbirds and other winged creatures. Come summer, the foliage of this Beard Tongue matures to green. Plants are North American natives that can handle a wide range of conditions from clay soil to dry periods. Deer generally avoid them. Named a Perennial Plant of the Year® from the Perennial Plant Association.
Penstemon is a very large genus of herbaceous perennials, most native to North America. Their colorful, tubular flowers are borne in profusion close to the stems and the nectar is relished by hummingbirds. Most species require well-drained or very well-drained soil and full sun.
