Wasatch penstemon
Penstemon cyananthus
Wasatch penstemon is a striking native perennial producing vivid blue-violet tubular flowers that are irresistible to hummingbirds and bees. Plant in well-draining soil in a sunny to partially shaded spot and water sparingly once established, as it dislikes soggy roots. It is an excellent low-maintenance choice for Rocky Mountain and intermountain gardens.
