Garden Bells (Penstemon hartwegii Phoenix™ Pink)

Considering the botanical name `Penstemon hartwegii` and the common name “Garden Bells”, along with its designation as a Phoenix™ Pink variety, we can deduce the likely geographical origin:

* **Penstemon hartwegii:** This species is native to **Mexico**. Penstemon hartwegii is specifically from Mexico (primarily the mountains of central Mexico).

* **Phoenix™:** This is a marketing designation and indicates that the plant may have been bred for improved characteristics such as flower color or disease resistance. It does not necessarily indicate a native region.
* **Garden Bells:** Implies this has been cultivated and can be used in gardens

Therefore, the most likely native region of the *original* plant from which `Penstemon hartwegii Phoenix™ Pink` was derived is **Mexico.** The Phoenix™ Pink designation suggests it’s a cultivar, meaning it may have been bred elsewhere (e.g., in a nursery in Europe or North America) from parent plants originating in Mexico.
