Cascade Penstemon

Penstemon serrulatus

Plant Description

Cascade penstemon is a perennial wildflower native to the moist forests and coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest. It produces abundant spikes of tubular, deep purple to violet flowers in late spring to early summer, which are highly attractive to native bees, hummingbirds, and other pollinators. The plant has lance-shaped, serrated leaves and grows in well-drained soils, often on slopes, forest edges, or rocky outcrops. Cascade penstemon  contributes to understory diversity, supports pollinator populations, and adds vibrant color and structural interest to native plant communities.
