In late spring\/early summer, upright stems carry tall clusters of white, tubular flowers with delicate pink or lavender blushes inside. Its timing is especially useful in the garden, blooming right as many spring flowers are finishing and summer perennials are getting started, helping bridge the gap between the two seasons. The flowers hover above glossy, deep green foliage, creating a clean vertical accent that looks especially good woven through grasses and other prairie perennials.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is also wonderfully adaptable. Foxglove Beardtongue handles everything from dry, sandy soils to heavier clay and can tolerate part shade better than many prairie plants. Once established, it is drought tolerant and remarkably low-maintenance, making it an excellent choice for gardens that need a dependable early-season perennial without sacrificing beauty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLight: Full sun to part shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil: Medium to dry; adaptable to clay, loam, sandy, and rocky soils\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight: 3–5 feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpread: 1–2 feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eZones: 3–8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBloom time: May through June\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoxglove Beardtongue is especially valuable to native bees, including bumble bees, which are attracted to its abundant tubular flowers.
