The bell-shaped flowers of a penstemon offer a welcome change to the 'daisy-like' flowers produced by most perennials, not to mention an alternative to growing digitalis. Penstemon Evelyn has an ephemeral quality, with delicate looking pastel rose pink flowers, which additionally display a pale striped throat. The leaves of Evelyn are narrow, and this compliments the slimline flowers. The whole effect is a penstemon which looks rather stylish and elegant. The neat compact habit of Penstemon Evelyn has also made it hardier than most other penstemon, so in the harshest of winters, there is a far better chance this beautiful penstemon will survive. One to grow.
