Notes
'Cha Cha Lavender' beardtongue (Penstemon 'Cha Cha Lavender') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and dry, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Deer and rabbits tend to browse other plants first. Hummingbirds and bees visit the flowers, which open in early to late summer. It tolerates drought and salt, so it suits tough spots.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Yarrow, and Rosemary.
