Penstemon 'Beard lip'

A stunning, pollinator-friendly perennial that thrives in tough conditions! Penstemon barbatus, or Beardlip, erupts with elegant spikes of fiery red, tubular flowers from late spring through autumn, luring bees and hummingbirds with its nectar-rich blooms. Slender, arching stems rise above a rosette of deep green foliage, adding movement and structure to the garden. Drought-tolerant and resilient, this North American native flourishes in well-drained soils and is perfect for cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and dry borders. A true performer in Australian gardens, it’s hardy, low-maintenance, and effortlessly self-seeds for naturalistic charm year after year.
