A.k.a. foxglove beardtongue! A generally adaptable plant topped with white foxglove-like flowers. Resistant to deer and rabbits, and attractive to long-tongued bees and hummingbirds!
Note that this species is in the genus Penstemon species digitalis. It is not the ‘foxglove’ that most people are familiar with in formal gardens, which belong to the genus Digitalis. Foxglove penstemon was named after the genus Digitalis, in both their common and scientific names, due to their similar flower shape. This unfortunately means information about them is often confused.
This plant, foxglove penstemon, may cause problems if ingested by dogs (like them throwing it up), but is not on the ASPCA’s toxic plant list as of 2023. So generally a nonissue, but maybe skip it if you have a dog that compulsively munches plants.
Plants in the Digitalis genus, which are not the plant in this listing but are nonnatives commonly used in formal gardening, are dangerously toxic to dogs and should be absolutely be avoided in areas accessible to dogs.
