Penstemon 'Pensham Czar' is one of the Pensham Penstemon range, bred by late, well-known breeder Edward Wilson - who was a dear friend to many at Hayloft. Unusually, large, plum-purple, foxglove-like blooms with clear white throats are held in clusters on tall strong stems from May to October every year. These wonderful blooms are adored by bumblebees, who will fly inside the bell-shaped blooms to enjoy the nectar and create that joyous, echoing buzz that only busy bees can make in your garden.Penstemon are easy-going plants that have long formed a mainstay of the summer and autumn garden. They are one of the longest blooming perennials that 'work hard' oblivious of drought or rain and positively thrive in most soil conditions. Happy in containers or borders, sun or part shade and repellent to slugs and snails too. Penstemon 'Pensham Czar' is a hardy (H4), semi-evergreen perennial which reaches a height of 60-90cm, spreading 45-60cm.
