Deep maroon foliage serves as a stunning backdrop for delicate white, bell-shaped flowers in late spring, adding dramatic contrast. This tough, drought-tolerant perennial is a Hummingbird favorite and keeps its dark color all season.

Plant Husker Red Beard Tongue in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Space plants 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, reduce watering frequency. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring to maintain vigor.
