Notes
'Cha Cha Pink' beardtongue (Penstemon 'Cha Cha Pink') 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. It blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and hummingbirds and bees visit the flowers. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. Drought and salt do not bother it.
Pairs well with Coneflower, Yarrow, and Autumn moor grass.
