Firebird Beard Tongue (Penstemon ‘Firebird’) is a beautiful perennial plant known for its vibrant, tubular flowers. This hybrid is a cross between various species of Penstemon and is adored for its bright red to coral-colored blooms that appear in late spring to early summer. The flowers grow on upright spikes, creating a colorful display that attracts pollinators like hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies. Firebird Beard Tongue typically grows to about 2 to 3 feet in height and has a bushy, compact form, making it an excellent choice for garden borders, containers, or mass plantings.
This hardy perennial thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun, making it well-suited to drought-tolerant or xeriscape gardens. Once established, the Firebird Beard Tongue requires minimal maintenance, water, and care beyond occasional pruning to encourage new growth and maintain its shape. Firebird Beard Tongue’s vibrant flowers, pollinator-friendly qualities, and ability to tolerate heat and drought make it a popular choice for any home or commercial property owner.
