They have opposite leaves, two-lipped flowers and seed capsules. They are also called beardtongues, after the general appearance of an open mouth with a fuzzy tongue protruding.

The one Asiatic species previously treated in Penstemon is now considered a separate genus. This leaves Penstemon a mostly Nearctic genus, with a few Neotropical species. Penstemons are ideal for xeriscape landscaping, as many thrive in desert regions.
