  • 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.
