Description

30-36" tall x 18" wide (seed propagated). Few plants can duplicate the tremendous floral display produced by this special Beardtongue. This amazing selection of Desert Beardtongue blooms for a month in late spring with hundreds of intensely deep-pink, tubular flowers. Enjoy Coconino County's attractive mound of evergreen foliage by deadheading the plant after flowering is finished. This southwestern native Penstemon is my favorite for hot, dry sites and thrives in poor, well-drained soils. A vigorous re-seeder, use it with other re-seeding native wildflowers like Blue Flax and Chocolate Flower to populate harsh sites with their seedlings. My original plants were grown from habitat collected seeds gathered in Coconino Co., AZ, hence the name.
