Penstemon
heterophyllus Margarita BOP ~ Margarita BOP Penstemon |
| Penstemon heterophyllus
Margarita BOP has an even longer blooming period than its parents.
Penstemon Margarita BOP is a hybrid including Penstemon heterophyllus.
The flowers of Margarita BOP are darker hued. While you might be
able to call it blue, in most light conditions Margarita BOP seems pretty
purple to me. Penstemon Margarita BOP is drought tolerant and will
still bloom in half shade. For a native California plant hybrid
whose parents live on dry South exposures in the chaparral, Penstemon
Margarita BOP is remarkably tolerant of garden conditions. Heavy
soils and overzealous watering will eventually do the plants in but with
even moderate drying periods between irrigation cycles Margarita BOP holds
its own. Penstemon Margarita BOP blooms from mid to late Spring and
repeats into Fall. Penstemon Margarita BOP grows 18" tall and
is typically a little wider than tall. Plants repeat bloom best with
the spent flower spikes removed
