Deep rose pink tubular flowers appear in late spring and early summer. Compared with 'Pink Pearls', this variety has darker, redder flowers. Like other Penstemons, this one takes the heat and humidity in stride but is also very cold hardy. It continues to provide terrific color in the landscape all season long. Penstemons are very drought tolerant perennials that are easy to grow and are rarely bothered by insects or diseases. Plant them in full sun and watch as hummingbirds feast on their delicious nectar.
