Calling all pollinators! Rev up your garden with spires of vibrant magenta-pink wildflowers with Desert Penstemon Seeds. The populations of many pollinators are dwindling, but plan ting nectar-rich flowers like Desert Penstemon is one way you can help them recover. Although individual flowers appear delicate and dainty, don't let that fool you – this is one tough and adaptable plant. Native to the high deserts of Southern California, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, sandy soil. Use this drought-resistant plant in sun-drenched meadows, rock gardens and alpine plantings. As long as the soil drains well, the plant will thrive with minimal care. The evergreen foliage, upright stems and overall mounding shape make it a handsome filler plant, even when it's not in bloom. As much as you'll love this plant, deer will avoid it, so don't worry about losing those stunning blooms to browsing. Other names for this perennial include Rosy Desert Beardtongue, Canyon Penstemon, and Mojave Beardtongue. Show more
