a friend gave me a bunch of purple cone flowers and with them came these these little lovelies. They have low growing leaves with a purplish color to them, and tall purple stalks about 24" tall with clusters of lavender colored 5 point flowers. I also have 1 of these that has white 5point flowers that are the same plant just a variety of the other plant. I have researched this plant for about 3 weeks now and can not find out what they are. Please if anyone knows, let me know, thanks for any help. moderator's note: added a more descriptive title to topic
I knew i would mess something up, although i thought i added it mystery plant ( photo / image / picture from scottchalfant's Garden )
I'm thinking Penstemon too but there are many species and cultivars so I have no idea which one. Could you post photos of the whole plant too? I am thinking the one with white flowers might be Penstemon digitalis 'Huskers Red' (Beard Tongue, Husker Red, Husker's Red) See what you think.
