Penstemon parryi is a striking perennial native to the Sonoran Desert, characterized by its upright growth habit and basal rosettes of glaucous, bluish-green foliage. Reaching heights of two to five feet, it produces tall spikes of vibrant pink to reddish tubular flowers that are a magnet for hummingbirds. This fast-growing species thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry soils, making it an essential choice for xeriscaping and native gardens. It naturalizes easily through prolific reseeding.
