Comments: Great new perennial strain developed from a cross between a Mexican and a U.S. species. This compact growing pentemon is quite durable, has handled winter temperatures as low as -13 degrees F, and doesn't seem to suffer in the summer's heat and humidity. Because of its low maintainance and compact growth habit, it is a good choice for container gardening.

Pretty in PINK
Reviewed By: Deb Fohringer (Bellefonte, Pennsylvania)
Pretty and compact plant, but definitely not a ruby red. Mine are more of a medium fuscia. It seems to have survived the winter well.

Disappointed
Reviewed By: Kim (Pembroke, NH)
I bought 2 of these along with licorice mint - these were not red by any means very pale pink - almost white, not happy at all!

Penstemon
Reviewed By: Beverly (Kemp, Texas)
You need to change your description, they are not red but pink. I planted mine back in the spring. They are blooming and the Hummingbirds love them. They are tall and they do lean over which is the look I like. I am ordering two more they are great fillers in a bed.
