penstemon garnet

Penstemon 'Garnet' is a robust variety that makes an impression in perennial gardens and exotic, hot-coloured borders. Like all Penstemons, it attracts pollinating insects. The vertical stems above a clump of narrow-leaved foliage are adorned with deep wine-red, bell-shaped flowers. Although it is commonly sold as Penstemon 'Andenken a Friedrich Hahn,' the classier name of Penstemon 'Garnet' appears to be far more informative. Height: 75cm (30). Spread: 60cm (24).

A rather taller variety, Penstemon 'Garnet' produces a profusion of rich red-purple, bell-shaped flowers on elegant stems from June right through to October. A perfect addition to cottage garden borders, Penstemon 'Garnet', sometimes known as Penstemon 'Andenken an Friedrich Hahn', forms bushy semi-evergreen clumps which provide enduring vibrant colour. Penstemon flowers are also attractive to bees. Height: 75cm (30). Spread: 60cm (24)
