Penstemons are long flowering perennials with tubular blooms that appear from early summer into autumn. They bring reliable colour and a light, informal feel to borders and patio pots.
Top varieties include Penstemon Garnet, Penstemon Hidcote Pink, Penstemon Raven and compact forms like Penstemon Apple Blossom.
Penstemon thrives in full sun and well drained soil. It is drought tolerant and responds well to regular deadheading.
Penstemons pair beautifully with Salvia, Gaura, Verbena, Echinacea and Ornamental grasses.
