PLACEMENT & CULTIVATION

Attractive to bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, but not deer, beardtongue provides a welcome vertical focal point in sunny gardens. It prefers well-drained soils–plant in raised beds in heavy soils. Deadhead or cut for bouquets to keep the show going until frost. It is easy to grow and a profuse bloomer throughout the season. Cut back in early spring before new growth fills in.
