Penstemon tubaeflorus

Penstemon tubaeflorus blooms in early summer with pure white flowers on tall stems. It is native to the Great Plains, and it tolerates a fair amount of moisture. This species is a lovely garden plant that looks good with everything. It is also nice for cutting.

One day I saw Penstemon tubaeflorus after a hard rainstorm, and it wasn't even fazed. Hundreds of water droplets hung from the flowering stems, sparkling like diamonds!

Also known as White Plains Penstemon.
