DAKOTA™ Burgundy Penstemon
Gorgeous, dark purples and burgundy tones with glossy, dramatic foliage color, the DAKOTA™ Burgundy Penstemon, (Penstemon digitalis 'TNPENDB') will certainly stand out among the other green garden plants! Burgundy Penstemon are dramatic and highly saturated plants from the ground up! The deeply-hued burgundy foliage and dark burgundy stems are the perfect foil for the dramatic blooms that emerge all summer!
Also called Beardtongue, these upright perennials send up loads of bright rosy-violet and dark pinkish lavender-violet ombre, tubular flowers on 24-inch tall flower spikes and add great contrast to the glossy purple-black leaves! They attract loads of butterflies and Hummingbirds! You'll not be able to resist snipping a few of these blooms for vibrant floral bouquets.
Shorter and more compact, the rounded clumps are gorgeous in all garden styles and designs, and all sized areas! Vertical stems stand tall and sturdy throughout USDA growing zones 3 through 8 and are hardy and low-maintenance herbaceous perennials! Deer and rabbit-resistant, these hardy native cultivars tolerate lower moisture locations and drought-prone areas of your landscape and are fantastic Firewise landscaping plants!
Planting and Application:
Perennial beds and Rock Gardens are perfect for these, and the sturdy stems make gorgeous Cutting garden flowers! Once established, Burgundy Beardtongue only needs occasional watering once they are established and are great in urban Prairies, modern Meadows, and Wildflower gardens.
Classic English border and Cottage garden perennials, Penstemon are sized perfectly for all spaces, Penstemon are upright thrillers for containers and planters on porches and patios. Pair with spillers and fillers for wonderful seating area décor, a welcome front door planter, or add height in tall urns for formal accents on any sunny balcony, porch or patio!
En masse drifts of these dark, mysterious perennials add eye-catching swaths of color in both residential and commercial sites due to their resistance and hardiness. Everyone will do a doubletake as they pass your home with a facer border of Penstemon in front of your evergreen foundation planting. Or use it on a berm in your front yard or around your mailbox for fantastic curb appeal!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Penstemon DAKOTA™ Burgundy loves full sun and tolerates partial shade, especially in the hotter climates of its favored hardiness zones. Not particular on soil type, any well-drained soil that has consistent moisture works! Prune back mounds in the fall after frost has killed back the leafy stems and tops. Mulch around their crowns with 3-4 inches of arborist bark chips, and to maintain vigor, it's recommended to divide the mounds every few years.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
- Average to Low Fertility
- Well-Drained Soil & Appreciates Mulch
