Penstemon heterophyllus 'Heavenly Blue' - foothill beardtongue by Peggy Dawe
Penstemon heterophyllus 'Heavenly Blue' has iridescent blue-violet blooms and is beloved by pollinators and gardeners alike. This hardy perennial thrives in dry, sunny landscapes and is often viewed as a symbol of resilience. Some Native American communities used related species for soothing sore throats and res-piratory ailments, inspired by the plant’s tubular, throat-like flowers. Today, Penstemon heter-ophyllus is primarily celebrated as a vital nectar source for pollinators, playing a key role in sustaining biodiversity.
