Buy Onyx and Pearls Beardtongue online. Named after two polar opposite colors of gemstones, onyx is in reference to its dark foliage and pearls refers to its soft lavender flowers with white interiors. From a distance, the flowers look white. Compared to 'Blackbeard', this is a taller, fuller plant with lighter colored flowers. Like all of our Penstemon, this one takes the heat and humidity in stride but is also very cold hardy. It continues to provide terrific color in the landscape all season long.
Family: Plantaginaceae · Common Name: Beardtongue
