The Onyx and Pearls Beardtongue gets its name from two opposite colours of gemstones, onyx and pearl. The ‘onyx’ represents the dark foliage while the ‘pearl’ represents the soft lavender flowers that look white from a distance. What a stunning combination! Add rich texture to borders or naturalized landscape. This Penstemon holds it its colour throughout the season and is tolerant of high heat, humidity, and dry spells. It is an ideal easy to grow, low maintenance addition to a sunny garden.
