Penstemon heterophyllus 'Margarita BOP'
Blue-violet tubular flowers rise over a low evergreen mound in spring and early summer, drawing hummingbirds and bees to sunny borders.
Growing conditions
Give it full sun near the coast or light afternoon shade in hot inland gardens. This moderately growing perennial reaches about 1–2 feet tall by 2–3 feet wide. It adapts to several soil types where drainage is good.
Water regularly through establishment, then give occasional deep water during extended dry spells. Established plants tolerate drought, especially in well-drained soil.
Landscape uses and care
Plant along paths, in rock gardens, or at the front of a pollinator border. Clip spent stems after flowering and leave healthy basal growth in place.
