Penstemon White Bedder is a fresh, elegant perennial with tall spires of pure white tubular flowers that bloom from midsummer into autumn. The clean white blooms rise above bright green foliage, adding height and a soft cottage garden feel to borders. It is ideal for mixed planting schemes, wildlife friendly gardens and naturalistic borders, where its open flowers attract bees and other pollinators. White Bedder blends beautifully with pastels, blues and grasses, providing a long season of light, uplifting colour.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
