What Blooms: Beardtongue and Bluestar

Another early summer post:



Kay says:
This white and blue combination is Penstemon digitalis 'Husker Red'--Beardtongue--and Amsonia tabernaemontana 'Blue Ice'--Bluestar--, a cultivar of Amsonia tabernaemontana that has been selected for its dwarf size and peacock blue flowers as well as its brilliant yellow and maroon fall foliage.  
Amsonias are a very useful, carefree garden plant that tolerate many conditions--wet, dry, sun, shade.  They have various leaf shapes and heights, and are a wonderful plant for massing and texture.
You can find these in gym beds, beautiful anytime of year, blooming in early June.
