Husker Red Penstemon Digitalis - Beard Tongue Fall Color white flowering weeping redbudA native cultivar of penstemon, Husker red emerges with burgundy foliage that transforms to a darker burgundy green as it ages. The upright clumps of red foliage remind me of red wine and when the light hits them in the evening they take on a red semi translucent glow. Growing around 30 inches tall these plants make a great backdrop in the back of the bed, white to light pink flowers combine well with cool and warm colors alike.
