Looking almost good enough to eat, Penstemon 'Ice-cream Strawberries and Cream' is a delightful perennial known for its elegant, two-toned flowers and long-lasting summer blooms. Tubular blossoms are held on tall stems above the foliage, each one features a soft, creamy-white base with blush-pink to deep strawberry-red edges. Creating a striking contrast that brightens borders and garden beds, bees and butterflies are drawn in for a closer look and a fantastic feast. A hardy, semi-evergreen perennial which thrives in full sun to partial shade, preferring well-drained soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens. The slender, lance-shaped foliage adds to its graceful appeal, complementing its airy, elegant blooms. Ideal for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and patio containers, Penstemon 'Strawberries and Cream' will reach around 80cm in height and provides continuous colour from early summer to autumn. Regular deadheading encourages more blooms, extending its flowering season. With its charming bicolour flowers and reliable performance, this penstemon adds a touch of romance and sophistication to any outdoor space.
