  • Description

  • Notes

A small sub-shrublet forming a mound 1 to 2 feet tall and not as wide. Evergreen foliage is light green and narrow. Orangish-red flowers appear in mid-summer, later than most penstemons, and generally lasts into the fall. Bridges penstemon has an open and airy appearance which blends well with ornamental grasses. A Utah native.
