Penstemon wrightii -Wright's Penstemon

One of the most dramatic Penstem we have growing in our beds. It makes a large, open mounding base with flowers stalks covered with bright red blooms extending two to three feet above the foliage. After blooming the seed pods are an attractive addition to the garden as well. If seed pods aren't what you want to look at though, regular deadheading will keep this plant blooming though the season.
