[Penstemon ambiguus var. thurberi] 'Desert Surprise' or 'Thurber's Beardtongue'

Plants grow 2 to 3 feet tall and have small pink-blue flowers. This species does not have the typical look that one associates with Penstemon, it does not have the spikes of flowers that most do but instead has flowers that open in small clusters along some what lax stems. Best used as hummingbird and Butterfly food in well draining naturalized areas, since the flowers are not that large and showy. Blooms late spring and some times again in the fall. Plants are very drought tolerant once established. Native from the high deserts of California and New Mexico.

Zones 6-10. Surface sow seeds and cover very lightly with some sand or coarse perlite, use 55-68F with germination 2 to 3 weeks, if no germination move to 30-39 F for 6 weeks.
