Pink flowers and green to purple leaves.

[Ahmad Okeil]

Hi,

I bought a house in Southern Ontario that was owned by an established gardener many years ago. Every year we see many types perennials grow, bloom and then disappear. Since I am not a gardener myself I need help identifying some of them. I already did my homework and googled many of these types. Some times I succeeded in my identifications and some times not. So let us start with these Pink flowers and green to purple leaves.

Thanks Larisa.

This was really fast and very accurate. When I search for images of Penstemon digitalis I get images of the plant we have.
