A soft orange-flowered selection of pineleaf beardtongue, Penstemon pinifolius SteppeSuns® 'Sunset Glow' is a native cultivar that starts flowering in late spring and attracts numerous pollinators and hummingbirds. Reminiscent of Colorado summer sunsets, its long-lasting blooms add a warm glow to dry area gardens. Finely textured evergreen foliage forms a compact mound for year-round interest. A 2011 Plant Select® selection.
Description
(12-18" tall x 18-24" wide) SteppeSuns® Sunset Glow Penstemon is the result of more than 20 years of breeding work at the Denver Botanic Gardens. This plant enjoys a well-drained, non-clay soil in part to full sun conditions. In low elevation-hot summer locations, Sunset Glow needs afternoon shade and regular irrigation. Recommended companion plants include English lavender, Hymenoxys (Thrift-Leaf Perky Sue) and Old World Salvia such as 'May Night' and 'Caradonna'. Best suited at elevations up to 7500 feet. Introduced by Plant Select®– waterwise, garden-tested plants proven to thrive in the high plains and intermountain west for more beauty, with less work.
