Description

Penstemon digitalis ‘Mystica’ is a striking herbaceous perennial celebrated for its dynamic foliage and elegant blooms. Emerging with green leaves in spring that mature into deep burgundy and purple tones, the foliage performs a dramatic autumn finale by turning brilliant red and persisting into early winter. Above the colorful foliage arise numerous clustered, tubular lavender-white flowers in late spring to mid-summer that attract pollinators such as hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Additionally, the plant offers excellent cut-flower potential and salt tolerance, making it versatile for gardens in USDA Zones 3–9.

Foliage color transformation: Green in spring → burgundy/purple mid-season → brilliant red in fall and into early winter
Pollinator magnet: Tubular lavender‑white blooms that attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees
Salt and drought tolerance: Performs well in dry or hot sites, shows resilience to salt, and works well as a cut-flower
