This dainty penstemon has blushing pink inch-long tubular flowers held loosely above tidy green foliage. Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established. If happy, it may gently reseed to fill nooks and crannies and create spontaneous combinations in the garden. A favorite of bees large and small, and of the occasional hummingbird!
