Penstemon is a diverse genus of North American perennials and sub-shrubs known for their upright growth habit and striking tubular flowers. These plants feature narrow, often semi-evergreen foliage and produce tall spires of blooms in shades of blue, purple, red, and pink. Ideal for rock gardens, borders, and xeriscaping, they thrive in full sun and well-drained soil. Their nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to hummingbirds and bees, making them a staple for pollinator gardens.
