Penstemon is easy to grow and adapts to most conditions. Feed once a year with a slow release fertilizer.

I love this plant!! The blooms are abundant and last for two weeks or more. The flower stalks are sturdy enough to hold all the flowers. The color is dark purple with white specks that pop, and it looks great against Agastache "Cotton Candy" and Gaillardia "Oranges and Lemons." Adds a great contrast to the dome-shaped plants with its vertical upright growing style.
