Commonly known as narrowleaf penstemon, this drought-tolerant species brings a graceful, vertical accent to xeriscapes, native plant gardens, and pollinator borders. Its nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, making it an excellent choice for supporting local pollinators throughout the growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis penstemon is well suited to rock gardens, wildflower meadows, and low-water landscape plantings. Its narrow, blue-green foliage forms a tidy clump, while the upright flower spikes rise above the foliage in late spring and early summer. Once established, Pagoda Penstemon is a long-lived, low-maintenance perennial that returns year after year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlant Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNative perennial wildflower with pale lavender to light blue tubular blooms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAttracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpright flower spikes rise above narrow blue-green foliage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and native plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penstemon angustifolius\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Herbaceous perennial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained, sandy or gravelly soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low to medium; drought tolerant once established\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright clumping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late spring to early summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 24 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpacing:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 to 18 inches apart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow seeds indoors 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost or direct sow in fall for natural stratification. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not bury deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until seedlings emerge. Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves, transplant them into individual pots or harden them off for the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to help roots establish, then reduce watering as plants mature. Pagoda Penstemon performs best in lean soils and may flop in overly rich or wet conditions. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage a tidy appearance, and leave some seed heads for self-sowing and winter interest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e50 Pagoda Penstemon angustifolius seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67726887223606,"sku":"BOTAN4-189","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7649066941_d4wa.jpg?v=1791980326","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/pagoda-penstemon-angustifolius-native-perennial-wildflower-50-seeds","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
