Penstemon eatonii, commonly known as Firecracker Penstemon or Eaton’s Penstemon, is a striking perennial wildflower native to the western United States. Growing approximately 2–4 feet tall, it produces tall spikes of brilliant scarlet-red, tubular flowers from spring into early summer. Firecracker Penstemon thrives in full sun, well-draining sandy or rocky soil, and low-water conditions, making it an excellent choice for xeriscapes, native gardens, rock gardens, and pollinator plantings. Hardy in approximately USDA Zones 4–9, established plants can tolerate winter temperatures down to around -20°F and are drought-tolerant once established. Its nectar-rich red flowers especially attract hummingbirds while also supporting other native pollinators. Seeds benefit from cold, moist stratification before spring planting or can be sown outdoors in fall for natural winter exposure. Hardy, water-wise, and spectacular in bloom, Firecracker Penstemon adds brilliant red color while inviting hummingbirds to the garden—order seeds now and grow this western native favorite.
