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.
