Penstemon 'Purple Riding Hood' has been a real show stopper in our full sun garden. The small 15" wide clumps are composed of 12-15" tall stems, clothed in 4" long pointed leaves and topped, starting in late April (NC), with up to 100 tubular violet flowers, tipped in dark purple...quite an attention getter in the garden. Good drainage is essential for survival in rainy climates.
