Penstemon

Penstemon is a vibrant perennial that brings striking vertical interest and an abundance of colour to sunny gardens. With its spiky clusters of tubular flowers in shades of red, pink, purple, and white, Penstemon blooms from late spring to early autumn, offering a long season of eye-catching beauty. 

Thriving infull sun and well-drained soil, Penstemon pairs wonderfully withEchinacea,Salvia, andGaura, adding structure and colour to mixed borders. Its upright form contrasts beautifully with more relaxed, sprawling plants such asNepetaandLavender, creating a balanced, dynamic planting scheme.

With its bold flowers and ability to attract bees and butterflies, Penstemon is a fantastic choice for adding both visual impact and wildlife interest to the garden. Low-maintenance and long-flowering, it’s the perfect addition to any sunny border or cottage garden.
