Gulf Coast Penstemon, Brazos Penstemon, Sharp-Sepal Beardtongue
Penstemon tenuis
Conicle panicles adorned with numerous nearly 1" long, rich purple, foxglove-like flowers are produced in mid to late spring atop sturdy 20-30" high stems attracting bees, hummingbirds, and occasional butterflies. Gulf Coast Penstemon, Penstemon tenuis, is a rosette to small clump forming, herbaceous, native perennial typically found growing in or near consistently moist areas like along streams, rivers, floodplains, and at the edges of marshes or moist prairies. While it does prefer moisture it seems to be perfectly happy in an average moist soil in the garden or landscape and can also be maintained as a container plant as a specimen or in combinations. Gulf Coast Beardtongue is native mainly in Louisiana and Arkansas as well as western Mississippi and eastern Texas. Provide a full sun to partly shaded site, the latter of which may be beneficial especially in drier sites, in a moist to average moist fertile soil for optimum vigor and flowering. Item# 9158
