You might think that the ' Husker Red' in this Penstemon's name refers to the pink-white, trumpet-shaped flowers it sports during the summer, but look more closely & you'll see that its foliage, too, is ruby red. What's more, these leaves are semi-evergreen, thus giving the plant a long season of interest. As if its beauty wasn't enough, this Beard Tongue is also an extremely practical choice for cottage gardens: it is weather-resistant & seemingly immune to slugs & other pests. These qualities ensure that the magnificent plant will brighten up borders throughout the summer & beyond.
