Penstemon palmeri
“Scented Penstemon”
photo:(right) Dominique Revelle
This is a sensational Penstemon native to the high desert of eastern California. Very tall, the branching flower spikes can reach 5’ tall x 4' widetall! Blooming in Summer, the very showy, large pink flowers are fragrant & have beautiful nectar guides in their throats. The base foliage is grayish & itself grows to 2’ tall. Fairly easy to grow, it loves hot & dry & good drainage, though it’s said to tolerate clay quite well. Needs NO SUMMER WATER ONCE ESTABLISHED. A good habitat plant, it is loved by bumblebees. California Native.
