I picked up five quarts of these California native plants in July of last year from Mad River Gardens Nursery in Eureka, CA. They made it through the winter AOK and are filling in nicely. There are lots of different colors of penstemon – I’m planning on picking up a variety of colors from another nursery in April.
Tag information: Penstemon heterophyllus – ‘Electric Blue’ – California native with brilliant gentian blue flowers May – September. Attracts butterflies. Drought tolerant. Zone 6-9. Full sun. Height 24″.
I made a trip to Green Thumb in Ventura and picked up three more gallons of Electric Blue.
