Scarlet Penstemon
Penstemon triflorus (Scarlet Penstemon or Hill Country Penstemon) is a striking perennial known for its brilliant red flowers, which bloom in clusters atop its bushy, 1.5-2 foot-tall frame. It thrives in dry, rocky limestone soils and full sun, making it a standout in both prairies and gardens. The vibrant blooms attract hummingbirds and butterflies, and it works well as a cut flower. While not highly deer-resistant, its ornamental appeal and showy presence make it a popular choice in Texas landscapes.
