Penstemon heterophyllus - Foothill Penstemon

Market price from $5.85 to $11.75

Penstemon heterophyllus is more than just a mouthful to say; affectionately known as Foothill Penstemon, this vibrant perennial brings a stunning, color-shifting display to any garden. Resilient with a flare for self-sufficiency, the Foothill Penstemon blooms its heart out from late spring to early summer with a radiant array of tubular flowers, transitioning from an exquisite blue to a charming pink as they mature. Though it proudly rises up to 3 feet tall and spreads to a width of 2 feet with a display to make even the busiest hummingbirds pause, don't let its showiness fool you; it's a West Coast warrior hailing from California's dry, open landscapes and boasting remarkable drought resistance. It basks in full sun, adapts splendidly to well-drained soil, and brings year-round appeal with its elegant semi-evergreen foliage. Beyond the breathtaking bloom, it keeps your garden dressed to impress with little to no effort, making Foothill Penstemon an ideal companion for borders, rock gardens, and showcasing its beauty as an accent plant.
