Plant this desirable perennial in a sunny or slightly shaded spot and you can enjoy a succession of brightly coloured bell shaped flowers that are carried on short, upright spikes throughout summer and into autumn. Superb grown in beds and borders alongside other perennials or among ornamental grasses, Penstemon likes well drained soil and forms large clumps in time, rewarding you with even more flowers. Looking after them is easy occasionally dead head fading blooms to prolong the display and cover plants with a dry mulch of compost in late autumn to keep roots snug from frost. Varieties Included Penstemon Heavenly Blue, Penstemon King George V, Penstemon Snowstorm and Penstemon Raven
