Wasatch Penstemon is a striking blue-flowered native perennial from the Rocky Mountain region of Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Plant it in well-drained soil with partial to full sun and water regularly but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. It is a slow grower but rewards patience with vivid cobalt-blue tubular blooms that are highly attractive to hummingbirds and bees.
