Margarita BOP Foothill Penstemon (Penstemon heterophyllus 'Margarita BOP') is a beautiful California native perennial celebrated for its vibrant blue-to-purple flowers and attractive blue-green foliage. Upright stems branch freely from the base, forming a compact, naturally spreading mound of narrow, lance-shaped leaves. From late spring into summer, slender flower spikes display abundant tubular, bell-shaped blossoms that open sky blue and gradually deepen to purple. These nectar-rich flowers attract bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. Adapted to sunny, well-drained locations, this colorful perennial is an excellent choice for native gardens, rock gardens, flowering borders, and low-water landscapes.
