Penstemon pinifolius | Pineleaf Penstemon

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Penstemon pinifolius forms dense mats of slender, needle like green leaves that give the plant a finely textured appearance throughout the growing season. The evergreen foliage resembles small pine needles arranged along wiry stems. From late spring into early summer, clusters of small tubular flowers appear in vivid orange red, held just above the foliage and continuing in waves that attract hummingbirds.

Native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, the species grows in rocky slopes and open mountain landscapes. In garden settings, it is valued for rock gardens, gravel plantings, and sunny borders, where the fine foliage and bright flowers bring color and texture.
