  • Plant Guide for Rocky Mountain Penstemon
    Natural Resources Conservation Service Plant Guide ROCKY MOUNTAIN Ornamental: The beautiful flowers and evergreen basal leaves of Rocky Mountain penstemon make it attractive PENSTEMON for ornamental and landscape planting (Smith, et. al., 2009). Rocky Mountain penstemon has been identified as Penstemon strictus Benth. a compatible and beneficial companion plant to grow Plant Symbol = PEST2 along with several paintbrush (Castilleja) species for ornamental applications (Nelson, 2005). Paintbrush plants require a companion plant to serve as host for its semi-parasitic needs. Status Please consult the PLANTS Web site and your State Department of Natural Resources for this plant’s current status (e.g., threatened or endangered species, state noxious status, and wetland indicator values). Description General: Rocky Mountain penstemon, a member of the Figwort family (Schrophulariaceae) is a semi-evergreen, native, perennial forb with fibrous roots and is 35-70 cm tall. Plants are mostly glabrous and the leaves are entire. Basal and lower leaves are 5-15 cm long, 5-16 mm wide, narrowly oblanceolate, rounded at the tip and tapering to the base. The upper leaves are 4-10 cm long, 2-7 mm wide, linear and often folded. The flower stalks have a whorl of 1 or 2 flowers (sometimes 4) at each node. The sepals are 3-5 mm long, glabrous and ovate or rounded to obtuse and are glabrous. The petals are 24-32 mm long and the flower tube is 6-10 mm long, deep blue in color with a whitish color at the opening and often with red- violet lines inside the throat and sparsely bearded to sometimes glabrous.

  • Gulf Coast Penstemon, Penstemon Tenuis: Spring Flowering Perennial
    Plant of the Season, Sponsored by the North Central Chapter, Native Plant Society of Texas Operation NICE! (Natives Instead of Common Exotics!) – Spring 2018 Gulf Coast Penstemon, Penstemon tenuis: Spring flowering perennial Description: Gulf Coast Penstemon, Penstemon tenuis, is also known as Brazos Penstemon, Brazos Beardtongue, Sharpsepal Beardtongue, Gulf Penstemon and Gulf Beardtongue. It is native to southeastern and East Texas. Gulf Coast Penstemon’s foliage is usually up to 12 in. wide and 12 in. tall, but in the spring with flower spikes, it can be as tall as 30 in. Its tapering leaves are usually 3-6 in. long and medium green; in North Texas, it is usually evergreen. Flowers and Seeds: Gulf Coast Penstemon’s light purple flowers appear in mid to late spring. Although the flowers are small, there are many of them, usually on multiple flower spikes, giving the appearance of a cloud of Photos courtesy of Marilyn Blanton. blooms that last for several weeks. Sometimes Gulf Coast Penstemon flowers again in the fall, although the blooms are more limited. Flowering is followed by attractive, tough 0.5 in. seed capsules containing many small seeds that stay on the plant through the winter, unless cut off. Planting sites: Partial shade is best for Gulf Coast Penstemon, although it will tolerate full sun. It prefers moist soils and grows well in both moderately acidic and alkaline conditions. It will do well in seasonal poor drainage. Watering Instructions: Although Gulf Coast Penstemon is quite tolerant of dry conditions, it may be watered during extreme drought. Comments: Gulf Coast Penstemon is usually grown for its showy, lavender-purple flowers.

  • Lamiales – Synoptical Classification Vers
    Lamiales – Synoptical classification vers. 2.6.2 (in prog.) Updated: 12 April, 2016 A Synoptical Classification of the Lamiales Version 2.6.2 (This is a working document) Compiled by Richard Olmstead With the help of: D. Albach, P. Beardsley, D. Bedigian, B. Bremer, P. Cantino, J. Chau, J. L. Clark, B. Drew, P. Garnock- Jones, S. Grose (Heydler), R. Harley, H.-D. Ihlenfeldt, B. Li, L. Lohmann, S. Mathews, L. McDade, K. Müller, E. Norman, N. O’Leary, B. Oxelman, J. Reveal, R. Scotland, J. Smith, D. Tank, E. Tripp, S. Wagstaff, E. Wallander, A. Weber, A. Wolfe, A. Wortley, N. Young, M. Zjhra, and many others [estimated 25 families, 1041 genera, and ca. 21,878 species in Lamiales] The goal of this project is to produce a working infraordinal classification of the Lamiales to genus with information on distribution and species richness. All recognized taxa will be clades; adherence to Linnaean ranks is optional. Synonymy is very incomplete (comprehensive synonymy is not a goal of the project, but could be incorporated). Although I anticipate producing a publishable version of this classification at a future date, my near- term goal is to produce a web-accessible version, which will be available to the public and which will be updated regularly through input from systematists familiar with taxa within the Lamiales. For further information on the project and to provide information for future versions, please contact R. Olmstead via email at [email protected], or by regular mail at: Department of Biology, Box 355325, University of Washington, Seattle WA 98195, USA.

  • Short, Sweet, Tough
    SHORT, SWEET, 1 TOUGH These varieties not only will weather Wyoming’s worst, they’ll flourish! By Amy Fluet ere are some short, drought-tolerant plants Hwhose good looks will charm you. They are great for the front of a sunny pe- rennial border, along a path, or for any empty 2 spot that needs added interest without a lot of added water. Can you tell which is which? Hens and chicks (Sempervivum spp.) • The leaves of this plant come in varying shades of green and reddish purple; some are webbed. • The translation of its genus name (“always living”) alludes to this plant’s tough-as-nails personality. • Although happy clumps of this plant will grow broader each year, plants can easily be removed or divided to create new plantings. • Otherworldly flower spikes arise from these succulents; flowering rosettes are destined to die, but there are always plenty of off- spring to fill in the resulting gaps. 3 SPRING 2011 17 17 Mat penstemons (photo of Penstemon davidsonii v. menziesii ‘Microphyllus’) • In contrast to their loftier cousins, these pen- stemons hug the ground but still have the same sturdy disposition and preference for well-draining soils that haven’t been enriched with fertilizers or compost. • Their blue to blue-purple tubular flowers stand a few inches above the foliage. • Foliage for some of these penstemons can take on reddish hues in the fall and winter and can provide a good backdrop for smaller early-spring bulbs. • These penstemons will grow broader with time, but they rarely seem to reseed. 4 • Another great species is P.
