This charming penstemon has blue-gray evergreen leaves and clouds of lavender-blue flowers in late spring. It has a shrubby growth habit, and grows to between 8 to 12 inches tall and wide, or wider if it receives regular water (but not over-watering). A wonderful addition to a sunny border, a rock garden, or parkstrip.
As with most penstemon, plant in full, hot sun in most any soil, as long as it is well-drained. Wet or soggy soils will cause root rot. Attracts hummingbirds and bees; resistant to deer and rabbit. After the plant has finished blooming, deadhead the old flower spikes (leaving a few to allow re-seeding). Cut back old, tatty foliage in the late winter to early spring if the plant needs a little sprucing.
