Penstemon Montanus Var. Idahoensis
Penstemon montanus var. idahoensis is a striking perennial plant native to the mountainous regions of Idaho and surrounding areas. It is known for its vibrant blue to purple flowers that bloom in early summer, adding color to rocky slopes and meadows. This variety of penstemon is particularly adapted to dry, well-drained soils and full sun exposure. Its drought tolerance makes it a valuable plant for xeriscaping and native gardens. Despite its beauty, it remains relatively obscure compared to more widely cultivated penstemon species.
