Rock Candy Ruby Penstemon

Penstemon barbatus 'Novapenrub'

Rock Candy Ruby Penstemon features eye-catching hot pink flowers that bloom in dense, upright spikes above a neat mound of deep green leaves. Flowering begins in late spring and continues into early summer, offering vivid seasonal color in a small footprint. With a mature size of just 10 to 12 inches tall and up to 12 inches wide, it fits easily into narrow borders, small-scale beds, and decorative pots. Its tidy form and bright color make it especially useful in high-traffic commercial spaces or grouped for mass planting. Well-suited to warm, sunny conditions, including those found in North Texas.

  • Long seasonal bloom window
