Penstemon pruinosus is a beautiful, low-growing western species, but the alpine form is especially appealing for the rock garden. It forms a compact mat of glaucous, gray-green foliage, with short upright stems carrying tubular violet-blue flowers in late spring and early summer.
Also known as the Chelan Beardtongue, for the beautiful area around Chelan, Washington. This alpine form has a distinctive low mounding foliage habitat but the same outstanding electric blue/pink flowers.
Great for edging a rock garden path, or displayed prominently in a crevice garden at the base of the rocks with great drainage.
