Keckiellas are shrubby penstemons. This one has numerous narrow red flowers. It is adaptable to various amounts of sun and water, but too much water shortens its life. When grown in part shade itforms a lax shrub that will twine through neighboring plants. In the sun it will be a more compact bush. Give it good drainage.
