Penstemon digitalis - Red Riding Hood
A vivid standout in summer gardens, Penstemon 'Red Riding Hood' showcases vibrant cherry-red tubular flowers held aloft on upright, compact foliage. Reaching about 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) tall and wide, this cultivar dazzles from late spring through summer with dense flower spikes that draw hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies—making it ideal for borders, containers, and cut-flower bouquets. As a Dutch hybrid valued for its cold hardiness, long bloom span, and drought tolerance, it's a resilient, low‑maintenance choice that also performs well in xeriscapes.
