Foxglove Beard-tongue (Penstemon digitalis), also known as Smooth Penstemon, is a resilient North American native perennial prized for its elegant white to blush-pink tubular blooms and easy-care nature. Thriving in poor soils and tolerating drought with ease, this adaptable wildflower brings graceful beauty to gardens from early to mid-summer—while also attracting pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.

With its strong upright stems and delicate bell-shaped flowers, Foxglove Beard-tongue adds a touch of refinement to naturalized landscapes, ornamental borders, pollinator patches, and prairie restorations. Perfect for USDA Zones 3–8, it’s deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and ideal for xeriscaping and meadowscapes, making it a go-to choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners seeking low-maintenance, eco-friendly beauty.

Whether you're building a native prairie garden, enhancing a cottage-style landscape, or simply looking to support local pollinators, Foxglove Beard-tongue is a standout choice. Start it easily from seed, and enjoy years of elegant blooms and ecological benefit with minimal effort.

Why Shido Seeds Are the Best

For a naturalized effect, plant Foxglove Beard-tongue in drifts of 5 or more. It looks especially striking when paired with other native species like Echinacea (coneflower), Rudbeckia (black-eyed Susan), or ornamental grasses. Deadheading after flowering can promote additional blooms, and saving seeds is easy for sharing or reseeding!

Getting to know your Foxglove Beard Tongue Flower

Foxglove Beard Tongue—also known as Penstemon digitalis—is that low-key wildflower friend who never asks for attention but still turns heads. With elegant spires of trumpet-shaped blooms, it’s a native beauty that knows how to quietly steal the show, one pollinator at a time.

In bloom from late spring to early summer, it adds vertical movement and grace to any garden bed, meadow, or native planting scheme. And if you leave the seedheads on after flowering, you’ll get winter interest and bonus bird food. How thoughtful is that?

Foxglove Beard Tongue is one of those plants that quietly supports the ecosystem while looking effortlessly good doing it. A perfect choice for sustainable landscapes, pollinator gardens, or anyone who wants beauty without babysitting.
