Penstemon digitalis - Foxglove Beardtongue

Penstemon digitalis, or Foxglove Beardtongue, is a striking native perennial that thrives in full sun and provides high ecological value. Its tubular white to pale pink flowers are well-known for attracting a wide range of pollinators, including the Ruby-Throated Hummingbird, bees, and butterflies. The unique structure of its flowers adds to the visual appeal, making it a standout in native meadows and pollinator gardens.

Once established, Penstemon digitalis spreads easily by seed, making it an excellent choice for naturalistic plantings or meadow restoration projects. However, it’s worth noting that while this plant has great wildlife value, caution is advised around pets and farm animals, particularly horses, as ingestion can potentially cause them harm. Its ability to thrive in a variety of soils makes it a versatile and resilient addition to any native landscape.
