“Bring colour into your life, grow Penstemons”

Penstemons are an attractive addition to borders & pots with their impressive flowering spike and huge ray of colours.

Penstemons are remarkable plants, flowering from May-November, happy in sun or partial shade, drought tolerant but still able to cope with a downpour of rain whilst remaining beautifully colourful.

They provide a great source of nectar for passing insects & are slug resistant, you really could not ask for more from any plant.

Plant in groups to get the most out of their impressive flowering spikes.
All our Penstemons are grown in 2 litre pots and can only be purchased by visiting the nursery.
