Husker Red Beard Tongue is blooming in my Georgia Garden.
He is thriving and becoming larger each year with little attention from me!

Skeeter,
ReplyDeleteThese are all over a front yard near where I'm working must be fertilized as they are huge and looking great.
My husband (a husky guy himself) wanted a start of this when we saw it a few years ago in a friend's flower bed. Ours are not blooming yet, but I HAVE divided it a SEVERAL times since acquiring it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty. Love that red foliage. I haven't seen any offspring of Husky in my garden so lucky you!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning everyone! Coolness in the air and I have plans to tackle a renovation project alone today. Wish me luck :-)
ReplyDeleteHusker is a wonderful plant with red/green color and dainty white blooms. I do nothing to this plant but enjoy it! Great plant in the garden...
Everyone have a great day!
He looks pure and handsome :) Doesn't he grow in vertical bunches, similar to snapdragon?
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of this plant but it sure is pretty.
ReplyDeleteFunny that you mentioned the redo as I was going to ask how it was going.
It looks good. Always nice when you can get more too!
ReplyDeleteLooks great Skeeter! Penstomons are such great plants.
ReplyDeleteGood evening all, It has been a productive day for me and I was able to get my project completed with no mishaps! Tomorrow, I will tackle installing a door by myself. Yikes.....
ReplyDeleteJean, I will show a updated pic on Thursday….
Have a good nights rest as tomorrow is another day….
Evening all.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of this plant but never saw one. Yours is a beauty. Love the coloring. It would go perfect in my finished Back Corner Garden.
Anxious to see the redo.
Dear Skeeter, like Lola never heard of this. is it a variety of penstemon? I adore it. cheers, catmint
ReplyDeleteCatmint, I found the tag and yes, this is a Penstemon "Husker Red" plant AKA, Husker Red Beard Tongue.
ReplyDeleteHe's a beauty indeed Skeeter, lucky you that he self-sowed in the garden. :)
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful plant.
ReplyDeleteWe always laughed when we were kids and boys pants at the store had the lable "husky". Not sure why we thought it was funny.
