Firecracker Penstemon

Firecracker Penstemon (Penstemon eatonii) features bold, bright red flowers that are irresistible to hummingbirds. With its striking vertical form, it adds a dramatic accent to gardens. This hardy perennial thrives in a variety of soils as long as they are well-drained. Its vibrant blooms and exceptional drought tolerance have made it a favorite among gardeners along the Wasatch Front, thanks to its showy display and low-maintenance nature. In milder climates, its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, adding texture and color even when not in bloom. In addition to hummingbirds, the vivid red flowers attract a wide range of pollinators.
