‘Dark Towers’ is an attractive beardtongue combining tall spikes of pinkish flowers with dark burgundy foliage. The tubular blooms are particularly appealing to hummingbirds and other pollinators, while the dark foliage provides contrast with neighboring green or silver-leaved plants even when the plant is not flowering. Its upright habit makes it useful toward the middle or back of perennial borders, and it prefers a sunny location with well-drained soil. Once established, it has good tolerance for relatively dry conditions and provides a long season of ornamental interest.
Height: 2–3 ft
Width: 1.5–2 ft
Flower time: June–July
Sun/Shade: Full sun
Deer resistant
