Penstemon eatonii

A perennial native to the western United States and southern California high deserts, Firecracker Penstemon grows in small mounds of cupped, lanceolate foliage that bear tall spikes of tubular, scarlet red flowers in spring and summer. Needs good drainage and only infrequent to occasional summer water once established. Over-fertilization and heavy organic matter should be avoided. Useful for hot, dry, sunny spots in a desert or rock garden. Its small stature also makes it perfect for gardeners with limited space. Flowers are a magnet for hummingbirds and butterflies. Best if established during the cooler months from October to March.

To maximize Monarch butterflies reaching their overwintering areas, plant only locally native milkweed species. This flowering perennial has thick, white, woolly stems that bend or run along the ground. The plentiful, hanging flowers are rounded structures. The flowers are dull to bright shades of lavender or pink and form an attractive contrast with the grey-to-white foliage. This plant was eaten as candy by the Kawaiisu tribes of Indigenous California; the milky sap within the leaves is said to be flavorful and chewy when cooked.
