Littlecup Penstemon (Penstemon sepalulus) is a beautiful native penstemon the endemic to Utah. This compact perennial produces abundant soft lavender to pale pink flowers that bloom in late spring and early summer, creating a delicate display above tidy mounds of grey-green foliage. The foliage is semi-evergreen and may remain on the plant in the winter with red hues. Its nectar-rich blossoms attract native bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding valuable pollinator habitat to the garden. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soils, Littlecup Penstemon is an excellent choice for rock gardens, Mediterranean plantings, dry garden beds and borders, and pollinator gardens.
