Small-flower penstemon
Penstemon procerus
Small-flower penstemon is a tough, low-growing native perennial that performs beautifully in rock gardens, alpine settings, and well-drained borders across western North America. It produces dense spikes of small violet-blue to purple tubular flowers in late spring and early summer, making it a magnet for bees and hummingbirds. Plant in full sun to part shade with excellent drainage and minimal fertilizer for best results.
