stellar plant!
This plant is wonderful. It fills in nicely and deters weeds all summer long. It grows just about anywhere and reseeds itself readily--even in the cracks of our driveway! It appears to be fairly long-lived so it's reliable in my more formal beds. The plant stretches up in spring and provides several weeks of blooms that attract swarms of pollinators--and is a favorite of hummingbirds. It then remains green and fairly attractive the rest of the growing season. I can't get enough of this plant!

Foxglove Beardtongue became one of my favorite plants this spring when a pair of ruby throated hummingbirds began visiting each day.
