Pagoda Penstemon Seeds (Penstemon angustifolius)
 
Pagoda Penstemon is a striking, upright perennial prized for its tall spires of rich blue-violet flowers arranged in neat, tiered clusters that give the plant its pagoda-like appearance. Blooming in late spring to early summer, it brings strong vertical structure, vivid color, and reliable pollinator activity to gardens and meadow plantings. This species is naturally adapted to open, sunny landscapes with well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for drought-tolerant and low-maintenance gardens. Cold-hardy, long-lived, and dependable, Pagoda Penstemon performs beautifully in prairie, foothill, and mountain regions where summers are dry and winters are cold.
