Penstemon heterophyllus 'Electric Blue' – Foothill Penstemon
One of the most vivid blues in the California native palette, 'Electric Blue' delivers a summer-long display of intense gentian blue tubular flowers that practically glow in the garden. A selection of the California native P. heterophyllus, this evergreen perennial is as tough as it is beautiful — tolerating drought, deer, gophers, coastal conditions, and fire while reliably attracting hummingbirds and butterflies. Compact and tidy, it's an excellent choice for borders, rock gardens, and mixed native plantings.
