This semi trailing shrub can leap up
and through its neighbors. The Honeysuckle Penstemon is great in the native landscape due to the late
spring and summer blooming. Keckiella cordifolia can get to 6 feet tall but will sometimes reach
greater proportions using other plants for support. It is usually found on north
facing slopes or under the shade of trees in the riparian zone. Keckiella
cordifolia will take frosty
temperatures into the teens but will show some damage. It is also known as Penstemon
cordifolia by some but this name has generally been replaced by Keckiella.
The Bush Penstemon is a great choice for the Hummingbird
Garden.
