Penstemon ammophilus is endemic to the Dixie Divide in Utah and can be found in Garfield, Kane, and Washington counties.
Threats or limiting factors
The main threats are from habitat degradation due to grazing, recreation and drought. Observations in Utah Rare Plant Database reported farming and ranching as a threat in Lick Wash and Deer Range Canyons (URPD 2025). OHV use and dispersed camping impacted at least one occurrence near the base of No Man's Mesa. Drought and climate change is also a threat and likely impacting this species through out it's range.
