Sun. A perennial Texas penstemon, growing 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall with paired leaves and two-lipped flowers, also in pairs. In habit it’s a very small thin plant, but when in bloom (in spring) penstemon is spectacular. It’s long-lived in the native garden, and makes a great cut flower as well.
Penstemon are endemic to North America, though mostly in cooler latitudes. This is considered one of the genus’ most beautiful species.
