Field Notes

Description:

In the Spring this Penstemon puts on masses of 3/4″ pink-purple flowers, and there is a chance for rebloom in the fall. Although it can handle full sun it performs best with partial shade. Penstemon tenuis can reach up to 18″ tall and should be spaced every 12″. This plant can stay evergreen or go dormant in the winter depending on the temperature.

Habitat:

Shady section of wildlife habitat yard.
