     Like its cousin, Foxglove Beardtongue, Calico Beardtongue features snapdragon-like blooms all along its stalks, only these blooms are flushed pink.  Butterflies and other pollinators are all over this plant when it's in bloom.

 

     Calico Beardtongue makes a graceful addition to any garden.  It has a long bloom time, often into July, and its rosettes are semi-evergreen, making it a great groundcover.

Beardtongue, Calico
