Palmer's Penstemon, or Pink Wild Snapdragon, (Penstemon palmeri) is distinct among native penstemon varieties for its blossoms that resemble a Snapdragon rather than the typical tubular shape. This profusion of blossoms appear on top of the plant's tall stem in June and July, and are especially attractive to bees. This species of penstemon is taller than many other varieties (5-6' tall!) and adds a stunning accent to the back of garden beds, borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, xeric gardens, or natural prairie or meadow plantings. This penstemon has a deep taproot and is extremely drought tolerant, needing no supplemental water once established. 

 

Each seed packet contains 0.5 grams, or approximately 500 seeds.
