PENSTEMON UINTAHENSISPenstemon_uintahensis_0.jpg

This little beuaty flowered on our garden on May 8, 2013.  It is endemic to the Uinta Mountains in eastern Utah.  The lanceolate basal leaves are unusual in a Penstemon and the diminuitive stature.  According to Robert Nold in his book "Penstemons"  it is sometimes confused with Penstemon utahensis which is a completely different plant.P.jpg

I planted Penstemon uintahensis in the Spring of 2012 .  The plant came from Grahame Ware and his Owl and Stump Rare Plant nursery on Vancouver Island.
