Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus)
Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus)
Demure yet versatile is an apt way to sum up Hairy Beardtongue (Penstemon hirsutus).
Native to the Northern Midwest, and Northeastern United States, this plants fuzzy bells bring in all the early season pollinators to visit its diminutive tubular flowers filling them full with pollen and nectar, and perhaps a bit love drunk to boot.
Growing well in all kinds of conditions, from full sun, to dappled shade, to streams edge wet, to bone dry, slightly sandy or clay, Hairy Beardtongue truly lends itself to a plethora of plots, from the prairie, the forest, or nestled into the foreground of your native yardens.
Attracting early season bumblebees, sweat bees, mason bees, and even first to arrive Hummingbirds, this Beardtongue fits the bill, and gets the buzz treatment before everything else aside from spring ephemerals.
Like most Beardtongues (Penstemons) this plant is fairly easy to grow, and is a well behaved, long lived perrenial, making it an ideal choice for home landscaping.

Packet quantities:
We pride ourselves on ethical, hands on, ecological management, using no mechanical or chemical methods whatsoever.
All of our native seed is hand reared, hand picked, and hand packed from native prairies under our exclusive management, never breaking chain of custody from the field until it is sent to you. Each packet is hand prepared for shipment by us, directly.
Small seed species will contain greater than 20-25 seed
Large seed species will contain greater than 10-15 seed
All packets are individually marked at the bottom of the front label with expected count, however most if not all packets will have many more than the minimum count by default.
It is our mission to spread the wealth of native plant and pollinator ecological sustainability, and educate back yard gardeners as well as corporate and government entities in how to germinate, grow, and benefit from native synergies.
Thank you for your support, it is because of you, that we can grow together to do, what we do.🐛🦋🐝🐞🌾🌱🌼🧡
