Fuzzy Tongue Penstemon
Waves of soft, lavender clusters graced the mountains this year, making me pull the car over and get out. Bright golden-bearded throats are just beautiful up close. Grows 4"-12" and has narrow, linear leaves.
Claude Barr called it a 'rare jewel'. I found it stunning with the lavender and orange-yellow contrast. Native to the Arkansas River Valley. I see it
at 5-6000' and also at 7,888'.
Great rock garden plant. Sweet color. Plant in fall or stratify in a moist medium for 30 days. Cover lightly with sand.
