I've also tried Penstemon pinifofolius a couple times - it seemed to tolerate my humid summers OK, but I couldn't get it to overwinter. Maybe just not hardy enough. It might do better in Arkansas.


The P. pinifolius overwinters here, also 7b. That's why I recommended it. Although...we might have the same temperature ranges, but our climates are entirely different!
