Description
Penstemon electric blue produces long lasting blooms in an intensely blue colour that are perfect for attracting pollinating insects. This penstemon produces silvery green foliage that contrast well with the blue blooms. Penstemons are resilient and have long flowering periods and show great weather resistance. This semi-evergreen perennial produces a bushy upright habit making it perfect for planting in borders. Height and Spread:60cm (24”). Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the pant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only. Grow penstemon in a sunny or semi shaded position on fertile, well drained soil. Penstemons can tolerate dry soils once established but dislike heavy soils that are particularly cold and wet in winter. Improve heavy soils by adding plenty of coarse grit prior to planting. Feed and water penstemons regularly until they are fully established. Once established they are reasonably tolerant of drought and will require little maintenance. Deadhead faded penstemon flowers to maintain the plant's vigour and encourage further blooms to be produced. In cold areas apply a dry mulch of bark chips of straw around the crown of each plant in autumn. Leave the old foliage intact until spring to protect plants during winter.
