In late spring, above thick glaucous foliage rises spikes of 2-inch long bright scarlet tubular flowers that are hummingbird magnets. Its a perfect penstemon for low water gardens with lean soils. This plant's native range spans from the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas down to Baja. 

Best grown in full sun in poor, sharply-draining soil. Most commonly killed with overwatering and poor drainage, too rich of soil will lead to weak growth. 

Mature size: 1-2 ft T x W, flowers stalks to 4 ft T
