Tell Me More...
Penstemons are highly popular and it's not hard to see why as they are one of the most valuable, incredibly long flowering and easy to grow plants around. So popular, in fact, that there has even been a Penstemon Society created in America whose members are known as Penstemaniacs. Bell-shaped, purple, nectar-rich flowers bloom above clumps of semi-evergreen foliage all through summer and autumn in abundance, providing your borders, beds, and containers with colour for up to six months of the year, and sometimes even longer. Loved by bees, they are a perfect choice if you are looking to create a pollinator-friendly garden. Able to cope with both heavy rain and drought, resistant to slugs and other pests, thrives in most soil conditions and propagates so painlessly. Ideal for beginner gardeners as well as those who want to create low-maintenance displays. Prefers a position of sun or part shade. Hardy perennial.
