Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This is a favorite dwarf Penstemon, needle like intensely silvery leaves, forming tiny mats small enough for troughs. It never suffers from any dieback and seems very easy for a caespitose Penstemon, this would be a first rank plant even if it never flowered, and the flowers are lovely as well. ZONE 5
