Here is a photo of the purple milkweed with buds and bloom with the Penstemon again. As you see the red lines in the leaves of the milkweed are repeated in the red stems of the Penstemon.
Penstemon seeds well, is easy to move and has 3 season garden value so I use it alot.

The trick is to find a plant or 2 that you like, works in your garden and is preferably native that you can repeat.
I haven't bought a Penstemon in 10 years, all come from my original 3 plants.
