If you are looking for a plant that brings high-altitude toughness and a sophisticated splash of color, Red Rocks Penstemon is the crown jewel of the mountain garden. This hybrid selection stays a manageable 15 to 18 inches tall and wide, forming a tidy, semi-evergreen mound of glossy green leaves. It absolutely thrives in our intense, full sun, rewarding you with spikes of brilliant rose-pink flowers that feature a distinctive white throata beacon that hummingbirds simply cannot resist. Because of its native heritage, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and prefers well-drained soil over heavy watering. Its slightly leathery foliage and bitter taste make it a natural deterrent, so the deer and rabbits generally leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It is a reliable, long-blooming perennial that adds a professional, polished look to any rock garden or sunny border with very little fuss.
