The Perpendicular Penstemon Collection brings you three darlings of the garden which are among the earliest to begin flowering each year and also amongst the last to depart. With the award-winning hartwegii 'Firebird' included in the collection, these bell-shaped blooms commence flowering in May and last right through to October, lending statuesque colour in containers and open ground. Penstemon are easy-going plants which readily entice pollinators and other wildlife into the garden, are keen to naturalise and drought tolerant once they have established a good root structure. Furthermore, they make a colourful and sculptural inclusion in a vase or bouquet. Perpendicular Penstemon Collection prefers a spot in fertile, well-drained soil which benefits from either full sun or partial shade. Foliage is semi-evergreen and plants are hardy or half-hardy ('Snow Storm') perennials which reach a spread of 60cm with height varying between 75-90cm.Collection comprises:hartwegii 'Firebird''Snow Storm' 'Blackbird'
