Penstemon 'Pensham Amelia Jane'

Penstemons produce foxglove-like flowers, which look fantastic in informal and cottage garden schemes, and are extremely attractive to bumblebees.

They thrive in full sun to partial shade, in moist but well-drained soil. Many penstemon varieties are hardy in all but the harshest winters, but do move plants under cover or take summer cuttings if you want to make sure your plants will last through winter.

Penstemon 'Pensham Amelia Jane' bears red-pink blooms with white centres from May to September. It’s ideal for growing towards the front of a sunny border. Plants may need protection in colder regions. Apply a thick mulch of well-rotted manure or compost in autumn to protect the roots. Plants can be propagated by seed but they won’t come true. For better results, divide Penstemon ‘Pensham Amelia Jane’ in spring.
