Penstemon heterophyllus 'Margarita BOP'

  • Penstemon heterophyllus 'Margarita BOP' foothill penstemon
foothill penstemon

A fine selection of a native penstemon from Las Pilitas Nursery where this chance hybrid seedling was discovered at the “Bottom Of the Porch”. Forms a tidy mound 18 inches tall by 2 ft. or so wide. Iridescent blue-purple tubular flowers in short spikes put on a good show over a long period in spring and early summer. The spent flower spikes should be cut off to encourage more blooming, better form, and longer life. Best in full sun with well drained soils and moderate to little water once established.  'Margarita BOP' has proven particularly adaptable and has survived longer than other cultivars.  Hummingbird favorite.
