Description
If you have gotten the notion that all our natives have to have well drained soil, and you're sitting on soggy black gumbo, here's the plant you've been looking for! It's a native of poorly drained soils in Gulf Coastal prairies and marshes in Texas and Louisiana.
Gulf Coast Penstemon is a good companion plant with Yellow Columbine, which has the same requirements and bloom period.
Yellow Columbine grows in same conditions (above)
