Description

Desert Penstemon, Penstemon pseudospectabilis is a two or three foot perennial with green-red leaves and 1-2" rose purple flowers on a 3' spike. Native to mountains of S.Ca. deserts usually below 4000'. It seems to be garden tolerant and easy to grow. Its hardiness has been surprising. The gallons of this survived our winters, both wet and cold. This penstemon flowers at the same time as California Poppy and Ceanothus 'Skylark'. Very showy and well liked by the Hummingbirds.
