Penstemon crandallii
Penstemon crandallii, also known as Crandall's penstemon, is a species of penstemon that grows in western Colorado and small parts of New Mexico and Utah. It is a low growing plant with blue to purple flowers.
The penstemon cultivar 'Blue Lips' was created by crossing Penstemon crandallii with Penstemon linariodes var. coloradensis.
The range of Penstemon crandallii extends over much of western Colorado into portions of New Mexico and Utah. In Colorado it grows as far north as Routt County and south through the central mountains and west. The native range in Utah is just two eastern counties, Grand County and San Juan County. Likewise it grows in just Rio Arriba and Taos counties in New Mexico. The variety glabrescens has the widest elevation range, from 1700 to as high as 3400 meters.
