Penstemon heterophyllus - Blue Springs Foothill Penstemon
Truly luminous and almost turquoise in bloom, Penstemon heterophyllus āBlue Springsā is one of those California natives that makes gardeners stop mid-sentence. This compact Foothill Penstemon covers itself in brilliant blue to lavender-blue tubular flowers, glowing above handsome bluish-green evergreen foliage with that effortless wild-California sparkle we adore.
Dense, tidy, and beautifully behaved, āBlue Springsā Foothill Penstemon typically reaches about 6ā12" tall, with a compact habit that makes it perfect for dry gardens, borders, slopes, rock gardens, and containers. It may be modest in size, but it is absolutely not a shy bloomer. Hummingbirds and butterflies love the nectar-rich flowers, while gardeners love its long-lived, low-fuss nature once established.
Give Penstemon heterophyllus āBlue Springsā full sun, excellent drainage, and lean to low-fertility soil. Once settled in, it thrives with little to no summer water. Deer resistant, drought-tolerant, and dazzlingly blue, this is a superb native choice for water-wise gardens with serious charm.
