Rocky Mountain Penstemon, or Beardtongue, with its spikes of bright blue-purple flowers and evergreen foliage, is one of the easiest-to-grow and most beloved of the West's native wildflowers. Long-lived, this beauty thrives in most any well-drained soil with full sun, and the flowers will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds for years to come.
