Penstemon neomexicanus
New Mexican penstemon is a perennial wildflower native to the mountains of New Mexico, with one historic record in Chihuahua, Mexico. It grows in pine and spruce forest meadows and slopes at high elevations, so cool, well-drained conditions suit it best.
Penstemon neomexicanus, the New Mexican penstemon, is a plant species in the veronica family that primarily grows in the state of New Mexico in the western United States.
The New Mexican penstemon is mainly native to the state of New Mexico with just one historic collection of the species in the Mexican state of Chihuahua near the Mormon colony of Colonia Garcia. In New Mexico it is found in Lincoln and Otero counties with possible hybrids with Penstemon virgatus in northern Lincoln and southern Torrance counties. They grow in the Capitan Mountains, Sacramento Mountains, the Sierra Blanca, and near the Gallinas Mountains at elevations of 1,800 to 2,700 meters (5,900–8,900 ft).
