Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Long blooming, vigorous, and EASY to grow. To 2' tall this South American Penstemon bears a profusion of large red bells with contrasting darker red and white stripes on sturdy stem. Self-cleaning too-so no dead heading. South American Penstemons do very well in our climate, not needing the perfect drainage of the familiar rocky mountain varieties.
