Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Cherry Glo penstemon has lovely ruby red tubular flowers held on stiff reddish stems. The foliage is dark green. The penstemon hybrids are not as cold hardy, but this makes a fine annual for long-term color in the perennial border or for containers. Grows 2 to 3 feet tall and about 12 to 15 inches wide. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds; is deer and rabbit resistant.
