Description
(48-60" tall) Palmer’s Penstemon forms an evergreen mound of stems
sporting pairs of prickly, gray-green leaves. The magic starts in early summer,
when stems surge upward to become towering flower spikes with bulbous, lipped
blooms in shades of pale pink (similar to snapdragons). Ideal as a dramatic
focal point that draws the eye even at a distance, Palmer's Penstemon also
merits a place along a path or near a patio, where you can enjoy the flowers'
delightful scent and watch the hummingbirds as they hover to sip the sweet
nectar. Palmer's Penstemon is remarkably water-wise, durable, and very
drought-resistant. Plant it in full sun and very well-drained soil, as it would
get in its native habitat in desert canyons and washes. Other names for this
deer-resistant and rabbit-resistant plant include Palmer's Beardtongue, Scented
Penstemon, and Scented Beardtongue.

The plants are sprouting everywhere I put seeds
"Palmer's penstemon is my favorite! Fragrant, sculptural and easy to grow - great quality seeds that sprout reliably. They don't typically bloom the fist season, but will be amazing next summer. I've built my whole garden with High Country plants. #sweepstakes"
This fabulous plant loves northeastern Nevada high desert
"I have purchased this plant for myself and received it as gifts from my daughter. Before it makes its first blooms, the rather shrubby stems and leaves look like something from another planet: triangular opposite leaves are a fleshy grey-green with spiky-looking edges. So different from the lavender they intersperse. Planted the new lot this Spring as soon as they arrived at which time climate changing decided to throw a (wrench) in the works and turned HOT, remaining so until September. I only lost two plants, perhaps because they didn't have a very robust root system to begin with. All of the rest survived a very inhospitable Spring and Summer making me look forward to their pure gorgeousness next year."
