Small's beardtongue (Penstemon smallii) - NEW!
Deer Resistant! "Numerous, tube-shaped, dark-pink to purple, white-throated flowers are borne on upright, branched stalks up to 2 1/2 ft. high. Differing from other eastern penstemons, the flowering branches extend down into the axils of the leafy stems, giving the plant a bushy appearance. The shiny, opposite leaves have attractive, dark veins and clasping, heart-shaped bases. The basal rosette of leaves turns reddish-bronze in the winter. Small's Beardtongue blooms for up to four weeks, much longer than other eastern penstemons. It occurs naturally in places that are in shade for half the day, but also tolerates full sun. A popular flower in mountainous regions of the South." -Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center Sun Exposure: Part Shade Soil Moisture: Medium Height: 14" Bloom Time: April, May, June Bloom Color: Pink, Purple *** Most of the new native perennials will say "We have run out of stock for this item or it is out of season" for now, so we don't overpromise.
