  • Description

  • Notes

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.
