I have 5 Gulf Coast
Penstemon planted in the Long Border. This is a Texas native. They bloom tubular, purple flowers. This is the first season I have ever grown it so I don't know if the growth habit continues to be as upright as it appears to be in the picture. After the flowers drop off, seed pods will form that are about a quarter of an inch long and just as wide. Each seed pod is filled with many tiny seeds. One of the plants I bought still had a spent flower stem with several seed pods attached. That's how I know about the pods. Clearly, Gulf Coast P
enstemon will spread rapidly since it throws off a lot of seed.
