A harmony of hues, graceful and flowing, the Melodious Penstemon Collection introduces 6 months of colour. Known for their vibrant colours, tubular blossoms, and ability to attract bees and other pollinators. This collection showcases an array of hues, including 4 with the RHS Award of Garden Merit. Penstemons are prized for their hardiness and drought resistance, making them an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes. Their elegant, bell-shaped flowers bloom profusely from late spring through summer, well into the autumn, adding a dynamic vertical element to flower beds and borders. These perennials thrive in well-drained soil and full sun, requiring minimal maintenance once established. The Melodious Penstemon Collection is perfect for gardeners seeking long-lasting beauty with minimal effort. Whether planted in cottage gardens, rock gardens, or wildflower meadows, these plants offer continuous charm and a symphony of colours that harmonize beautifully with other perennials. Their resilience and aesthetic appeal make them a garden favourite year after year. The Melodious Penstemon Collection comprises; ‘Rich Ruby’ H: 90cm AGM, ‘Stapleford Gem’ H: 75cm AGM. heterophyllus ‘Heavenly Blue’ H: 60cm, ‘Maurice Gibb’ H: 80cm AGM, ‘Pensham Wedding Day’ H: 80cm, and ‘Pensham Just Jayne’ H: 90cm AGM.
