Penstemon digitalis Husker's Red:  Beard tongue

Penstemon Husker's Red is also sometimes sold as Penstemon cobaea.  The foliage of Penstemon Huskers Red is red, even more so when grown in full sun.  This Penstemon will gradually make a clump that is a couple of feet across.  Penstemon Husker's Red requires a moderate amount of water.  It has entire basal leaves and white deep throated flowers with a touch of violet at the base of the flower.  It blooms from spring to early summer.  If the spent blossoms are removed it may come back for a second time.
