Penstemon parryi is a remarkable perennial plant, fondly known as Parry's Penstemon, that will infuse your garden with a vibrant spectacle of color. Treasured for its native roots stretching back to the desert regions of Southwestern USA and Northern Mexico, this distinctive plant fulfills its full potential under the kiss of full sun to partial shade. As it grows up to an imposing height of 3-4 feet, this visually compelling plant flaunts narrow, lance-shaped leaves that create a fascinating contrast with the backdrop of your garden. Adding further to its charm are its head-turning, tubular, bright magenta flowers that bloom from late winter to early spring.
