This plant doesn't seem to flower as much and look as nice as the "Husker Red" , but it has some colored flowers.

Plentiful flowers on short, sturdy stalks. 'Rondo Mix' does not have the tendency to flop as some other varities of Penstemon barbatus do. One of my favorite Penstemons. Stratification aids germination of seeds. They will rebloom if deadheaded.
