{"product_id":"penstemon-davidsonii","title":"Penstemon davidsonii","description":"\u003cp\u003eTough, tiny, and absolutely covered in flowers when it blooms, \u003cem\u003ePenstemon davidsonii\u003c\/em\u003e is a low-growing alpine native that brings serious mountain charm to rock gardens and dry slopes. Mat-forming and quietly evergreen, this little gem hugs the ground at just 4 to 6 inches tall, spreading slowly to form a tidy cushion of glossy, deep-green leaves. Come summer, that cushion erupts in showy lavender-to-purple-violet tubular flowers held just above the foliage — a small plant putting on an outsized show.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNative to subalpine ridges across the Sierra and Cascades, Davidson's Penstemon is built for tough conditions: hot sun, fast-draining soil, and lean, rocky places where most plants give up. It's deeply drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and hardy down to USDA zone 4, making it a wonderful low-water choice for cold-winter gardens. Hummingbirds and native bees flock to the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuck it between stones in a rockery, run it along the front of a sunny border, or use it as a long-lived groundcover where you need something that stays small, stays evergreen, and stays glorious. A treasure for collectors and beginners alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Annie's Annuals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43541661909051,"sku":"AA660","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/3455\/6475\/files\/Penstemondavidsonii2.png?v=1779568860","url":"https:\/\/www.anniesannuals.com\/products\/penstemon-davidsonii","provider":"Annie's Annuals \u0026 Perennials","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
