It produces one or more rosettes of variable basal leaves that are clustered together and sometimes have a reddish tint. One or more flowering stems rise from the rosettes with opposite leaves and tiny teeth along their edges. The stems are topped with stalked clusters of tubular white flowers, which turn dark brown after bloom to form numerous oval seed capsules filled with seeds.

PENSTEMON (BEARDTONGUE):

Penstemon is a large genus of flowering plants with approximately 280 different species that are native to only North and Central America. Most penstemons have a durable woody stem, opposite leaves, and tubular shaped flowers. Its most distinctive feature is a prominent hairy staminode visible in the mouth of the corolla, which gives the general appearance of an open mouth with a fuzzy tongue, hence the common name "beardtongue." Penstemons are quite hardy, and are often used in xeriscape landscaping, as many species are native to desert or alpine regions.
