Detailed Information
Penstemon ‘Riding Hood Red’ is a hybrid cultivar of Penstemon, a genus primarily native to **North America**.
While a specific cultivar like ‘Riding Hood Red’ doesn’t have a single “native region” in the traditional sense, its genetic makeup draws from various Penstemon species found throughout the western United States. Penstemons are particularly diverse in the Rocky Mountains, Intermountain West, and California.
Therefore, while ‘Riding Hood Red’ itself is a horticultural creation, its ancestry lies firmly in the **western United States**. It is bred to be adaptable and hardy, but its origins are North American.
