Highly adaptable beardtongue with white to lavender flowers, very similar to foxglove beardtongue, blooms in summer. Can grow in full sun to shade (better blooms in sun) and can tolerate most soil conditions, as long as not a desert or a pond. Reliable perennial summer bloomer that doesn’t seem to be bothered by deer.
Each quart pot comes with multiple seed-grown plants. They are separate crowns, not offsets. You can plant them as one clump or separate the crowns and spread them out.
