Penstemon may be deciduous or evergreen perennials or subshrubs, with simple, narrow leaves and racemes or panicles of bell-shaped or funnel-shaped flowers in summer through to mid-autumn.

Penstemons are such good doers in the garden, providing so much colour for such a long season, with so many varieties to choose from. They also look fabulous planted 'en masse'!

Penstemon Blue Buckle is a compact variety which has lovely rich blue - purple flowers that have a pink edge on spikes that bees adore. These plants are semi evergreen; they'll stay green all year round but loose some foliage in winter. They are clump forming and grow to 30cm tall and 40 cm wide. They do especially well in a sunny border, but will tolerate some shade, especially in warmer climates. Trim back flower spikes as they go over to keep the plant in shape and enjoy!
