Today I’m working on a wildflower research project, and here are some facts I learned about the Rocky  Mountain  Penstemon.  Its scientific  name is Penstemon Strictus, and its scientific classification is (Scrophulariaceae).  The height of the flower is 2-3 1/2 ft.  The most beautiful part are the pedals, the color pink/blue/ purple are blended together, but it looks like Indigo.  Its blooming period is May -July, and that is about 3 months.  Here are some suggested uses: slopes, hill sides, roadsides, and mixtures.Here are some interesting facts: An upright perennial native to the western  and central United States.  The closely packed snapdragon -like, purple, tubular flower are arranged  on a sturdy spike.  All these facts are found on a website called wildflowers  in Bloom-Aggie Horticulture.
