Bring bright, vibrant colors to your garden with BEJEWELED™ Bearded Penstemon. This midsize series was selected for dense habits and large flowers. Each variety has strong stems holding brightly colored blooms to create a full looking plant. Lance-shaped dark blue-green foliage looks good all season long. Native to rocky hillsides in the southwestern United States, these plants thrive in areas with full sun and good drainage.
Medium pink tubular flowers appear in late spring and early summer.
Like all of our Penstemons, this one takes the heat and humidity in stride but is also very cold hardy. It continues to provide terrific color in the landscape all season long.
Penstemons are very drought tolerant perennials that are easy to grow and are rarely bothered by insects or diseases. Plant them in full sun and watch as hummingbirds feast on their delicious nectar.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Penstemon barbatus BEJEWELED™ 'Pink Pearls'
Penstemons should be grown in full sun and very well-drained soil to avoid root rot. Soil fertility need only be average, but a light mulch in winter is recommended. Use Penstemons in the border, for naturalizing, and for cut flowers.
