Bred for a more compact size and increased hardinessthis baby performs! Upright stems to 2’are tight in 20” clumps... tubular bright Lavender flowers are almost non stop all summerand fall right up to frost... roll out the hummer carpet! Average garden soil with good drainage, fullsun, water when dry. We love Penstemonsanyway, but this one loses the floppies and waves her banner of blooms high. GoGo Cha Cha!
Cha Cha Lavender' is a very showy Penstemon with numerous spikes of lavender-purple, tubular flowers with lighter eyes and bee tracks. Long-blooming from July to October. The plants have a bushy, compact habit and a very long bloom time. The dense foliage is a healthy blue-green and is a great contrast for this powerful garden performer.
