Creating a dramatic display, deep, rich, blackcurrant-coloured blooms, each one with a darker throat, adorn strong, wiry stems from May to October. Attractive, glossy, green, semi-evergreen foliage forms beneath. The open-mouthed, trumpet-shaped bells invite pollinators to visit, while slugs, rabbit and deer tend to leave well alone. One of the Pensham range of Penstemon, bred by the well-known breeder Edward Wilson, who focused on bringing strength and vigour to his new cultivars, Penstemon ‘Pensham Eleanor Young’ was named as an 18th birthday present for the daughter of a special family friend. Penstemon ‘Pensham Eleanor Young’ performs best when grown in well-drained soil in a sunny position, reaching a mature height of around 1m, spreading to between 45-60cm. The RHS suggest a hardiness rating of H4, so protection will not be required if the temperatures stay above -10°C.
