Buy Desert Beardtongue online. Desert Beardtongue features mounds of deep blue green, toothed foliage that are topped with wands of vivid purple-magenta trumpets for much of the growing season. This long-lived perennial thrives in water-thrifty gardens where it attracts hummingbirds in daylight and hawkmoths at dusk. It is nearly evergreen through mild winters in the more southern hardiness zones. Do not cut back until spring to ensure the hardiness.
