Penstemon digitalis 'Husker Red Improved'
Husker Red foxglove beardtongue
Penstemon is a great choice for harsh sites. This plant re-blooms nicely with deadheading, though the seed heads make great visual interest in fall and winter. 'Husker's Red Improved' has red foliage in full sun. Cultivars with red foliage are infrequently used as a host plant or food source by insects.
