Description

Durable hybrid penstemons selected from crosses made by Bruce Meyers between Mexican and American wild penstemons. Narrow, dark green leaves form an attractive mound. RED ROCKS® sports a constant succession of bright rose flowers all summer, while PIKES PEAK PURPLE® chimes in with violet-purple. Both thrive in a range of sites and soils. Perennial. Xeriscape.
