Mountain pride

Mountain Pride is a low growing perennial, reaching 1′ high by 3′ wide that will go dormant in the winter.

Mountain Pride is a show stopping Penstemon.  The floral displays of this delightful perennial will dazzle any display garden. Normally found in higher elevations, Penstemon newberryi craves good drainage and rocky soil.

In mid-spring a bloom of striking rose colored flowers will cover the plant.

Somewhat short lived, plants should be restarted every few years.  A bit more work, but definitely worth the effort in any garden!
