Littleflower Penstemon

Littleflower Penstemon (Penstemon procerus) is perfect for rock gardens, wildflower meadows, and slopes where its low mats of gray‑green leaves provide a subtle backdrop. In early summer, it bursts into colorful life—dense clusters of delicate blue‑purple blooms dance on sturdy stems, attracting hummingbirds and native bees.

This plant is easy-going: give it good drainage, a sunny spot (though it tolerates light shade), and only light supplemental watering. It’s remarkably resilient—cold tolerant, disease resistant, and dependable under Utah’s challenging conditions. It's a petite Penstemon, typically staying around 12-15" tall. Plant it in groups for maximum impact, or tuck it into a sunny border for a quiet pop of summer color.
