An upright semi evergreen perennial with long fresh green foliage. Masses of tubular deep purple flowers with white centres from summer to autumn. Best grown in a moist well drained soil in sun or partial shade.

Features:

• They thrive in full sun to partial shade, in moist but well-drained soil. Many penstemon varieties are hardy in all but the harshest winters, but do move plants under cover or take summer cuttings if you want to make sure your plants will last through winter.

Planting: When planting this plant in the open ground it is best planted with a mixture of your garden soil and a good quality Tree and Shrub Compost.
