Description
Penstemon is an upright, clump-forming perennial typically growing 18–36 inches tall with a spread of 12–24 inches. From late spring through mid-summer, it produces tubular, trumpet-shaped flowers in shades of red, pink, purple, lavender, blue, and white, held along tall, erect stems. Flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, providing both visual interest and pollinator support.
The lance-shaped, medium green foliage forms dense basal clumps, adding texture and contrast to the flower spikes. Foliage is deciduous, with plants maintaining a neat appearance throughout the growing season. Penstemon is well suited for borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings, thriving in well-drained soils with minimal maintenance while providing vertical color accents.
