Penstemon heterophyllus ‘Margarita BOP’, Margarita Bop Foothill Penstemon

A seed strain of a highly variable native penstemon. The flowers on Margarita BOP plants are decidedly more fuchsia pink than the standard species of Foothill Penstemon. It also tends to grow a little more upright, rather than spreading sideways. Flowers in late spring to early summer, growing to around 1 to 1-1/2 ft. tall and wide. The spent flower spikes should be cut off to encourage more blooming, better form, and longer life. Best in full sun with good drainage and moderate to little summer water.
