Penstemon hirsutus

Trumpet-shaped flowers hang from the tops of hairy penstemon plants in shades of purple and white. This tiny penstemon grows just 1 or 2 feet high, making it a good choice for a tree lawn or rock garden. An early bloomer that attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and humblebees. This plant will readily self-sow in open, unmulched areas in the garden.
