Low maintenance penstemon with rose-purple or pink-purple flowers, bee friendly, good butterfly and hummingbird plant.

Full sun (6+ hours), average soil, drained soil, shallow soils, with average moisture (medium) to medium-dry or dry. Better drainage means better longevity. Adaptable to all soil pH.
