PLANT OF THE MONTH
Penstemon 'Margarita BOP' Margarita BOP Penstemon

This is a low growing penstemon with narrow, linear leaves and profuse blooms that start out blue and turn rose-purple. It gets to about 2' high and 2' wide and flowers from spring through the summer. It is highly desirable in the garden for its long-flowering and colorful blooms and is tolerant of a wide range of garden conditions. This flower works well in many situations; planted in masses on a bank, as part of a border, or in a rock garden. Penstemon 'Margarita BOP' was first discovered as a chance seedling by Bert Wilson of Las Pilitas Nursery. Every purchase of our "Plant of the Month" at our retail nursery partners will generate a $0.50 donation to PLANT WITH PURPOSE to help poor villages in third world economies restore farms, plant trees and create local jobs. |
