Penstemon barbatus 'Elfin Pink'

Bearded Penstemon (Penstemon barbatus ‘Elfin Pink’) is an attractive, low-growing plant. It produces vibrant pink flowers that bloom from late spring to early summer. The long, tube-like petals are edged in pale yellow, with white, furry “beards” on the lower lip. These are easy-to-care-for plants with a compact form that make them ideal for growing in borders, containers, or rock gardens. They thrive in full sun and are tolerant of dry soils—making them an excellent choice for xeriscaping projects. Best of all, they’re deer-resistant and attractive to beneficial pollinators.
