Robust penstemon hybrid with gorgeous pale pink blooms and ultra deep reddish-purple foliage that maintains a rich hue all through the summer heat. From University of Nebraska Breeder, Dale Lindgren who brought us Penstemon digitalis ‘Husker Red’ (which one of the parents), ‘Dark Towers’ has an even deeper tone and unique pink blooms. The basal foliage remains semi-evergreen throughout the winter, making it a great addition for winter interest.
