The Penstemon `Pikes Peak Purple', Penstemon x mexicale, has constant small, violet-purple flowers that bloom all summer long with narrow, lance-shaped evergreen foliage. It is best to plant Penstemon in a full sun location, having a moist, well-drained area. Being drought tolerant, `Pikes Peak Purple' looks great in a perennial border, in a naturalized setting, in rock gardens or for cuttings. Hummingbirds and butterflies love this perennial, not to mention being deer resistant.
