Penstemon digitalis Mystica is a relatively robust and long-lived perennial with attractive bronze-purple foliage and white-violet flowers. The decorative spent flower heads continue to adorn flower beds well into winter. However, the plant can also be cut back after flowering to encourage new growth. The main difference between Mystica and Husker Red lies in the foliage. Mystica leaves should be more durable and visually attractive even after the first frosts. We recommend cutting back the Penstemon after flowering so it sprouts again. Lasts 5 to 7 days in a vase.
