"Penstenstemon pinifolius "Pineleaf" came well packed and is looking wonderful!! We hope to get it established before our summer heat hits. . . ."
"The plants arrived well packaged and although I thought it was a little early they went into the ground immediately and are thriving."
"I did not protect this plant from the harsh Wyoming high plains winter wind after it's first season. Almost all of its stems were severely wind burnt. I thought for sure it was not going to make it into its second season. Not only did it make it but there is no appearance of the effects of the prior winter and it grew and flowered beautifully. This plant is hardy!"
"This little plant is doing well in my water-wise, deer-frequented high-mesa garden. It's covered in blooms in the spring. It gets a deep watering about once a week."
"My garden is in Zone 3 and these lovely little Penstemon are happy as a clam. They are growing on a north facing slope at 5900' but the soil is dry and well drained. I am not a fan of orange flowers and wasn't expecting much but pinifolius beardstongue proved to be a delight. In their second year they produced a profuse, bright bouquet of cheer. They were not bothered by deer or rabbits which made them a perfect choice for my location."
"One of the three plants is almost dead. They are all in the same area, which gets sun most of the day. The soil is good."
"I planted 2 plugs in early April. When I received the plugs, they were very small with very little growth above the crown. Some of the growth was brown. I planted them anyway according to instructions. Now it is almost July and all of the foliage on these plants has turned green. Still no more that a few inches tall with much growing still to come. No flowers the first year."
"Wow-wee! I was impressed by the multi-stemmed, healthy and lively plant that I received in a 5 inch pot from High Country Gardens. This little trooper didn't miss a beat when I transplanted it in late summer (it was a VERY long summer, the heat and dryness kept dragging on and on, so it wasn't such a great time to transplant really. . . no matter, this pineleaf penstemon took it like a champ and seemed perfectly happy)! I created a little saucer well depression around the plant, about 12 inches in diameter. The ""saucer"" helped retain our infrequent rainwater or hand watering. GROWS WELL WITH: I planted it alongside Penstemon Coconino County (raspberry pink), Penstemon Elfin Pink, silver lambs ear, trumpet vine, white hibiscus bushes, a chitalpa tree, Jupiters beard, catmint, purple iris, desert willow and some pre-existing natives (wild sunflower, needleleaf milkweed, aster, native clumping grasses, globe mallow). Love that this plant is TRULY EVERGREEN and TRULY XERIC. Our environment: 14 inches precipitation annually (fluctuating between long periods of dryness and brief periods of heavy precipitation), 5000 feet elevation, western, dry and windy high desert. Typically 0-100 degrees Fahrenheit temperature range in any given year. WILDLIFE that make their habitat in this garden: Hummingbirds, many moths, butterflies, bees (native and Arabic), bats, helpful snakes such as California kingsnake, ground squirrels, cottontails, jackrabbits, mice, tarantulas and many cool critters such as preying mantis. The hungry herbivores such as gophers and rabbits seem to leave the penstemon alone. This is a balanced ecosystem and no one plant is decimated (I am suggesting that by planting native and hardy plants such as those sold by HCG, nature can live in harmony without us having to use weed/pest control)."
Penstemon pinifolius (Pineleaf Beardtongue) Compact, hardy and water thrifty, the red-orange tubular flowers of P. pinifolius, set the late spring garden ablaze in color. Out of flower, the plant resembles a tiny mugo pine with thin, evergreen leaves held on tidy stems giving the plant year-round interest in the waterwise landscape. A little known native species native to southern New Mexico and eastern Arizona.
