‘Onyx & Pearls’ is a distinctive penstemon grown for the combination of dark foliage and elegant pale flowers. The tubular blooms rise on upright stems above the foliage and provide a strong contrast against the darker leaves. Like other beardtongues, the flowers are well suited to pollinator gardens and are particularly attractive to hummingbirds. Its upright form fits naturally into perennial borders, cottage gardens, and sunny mixed plantings. A sunny position encourages the strongest flowering and foliage coloration.
Height: 2–3 ft
Width: 1.5–2 ft
Flower time: June–July
