Red Penstemon

Draws Hummingbirds to Your Garden



Tubular, crimson-red blooms decorate your sunny spaces. Flowers in profusion from June to September. This native perennial grows 16-18 in. tall and is deer and drought resistant. Prefers full sun to partial shade. Potted. Zones 4-9.
This plant attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.

This item ships at the proper planting time for your region in both spring and fall.
If the current shipping season is closed, your order will ship at the proper time in the next season.


Product Details
Zones: 4-9
Height: 16-18"
Spacing: 16-18"
Depth: Plant at the same depth it is in the pot.
Spread: 16-18"
Sun/Shade: full sun-partial shade
Color: ruby red with a white throat
Foliage: Narrow, glossy dark green foliage
Blooms: Mid to late summer
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.

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!

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.

I ordered two of these, planted them in good soil, fertilized. They grew but flopped over immediately, not standing upright like in the picture. The few flowers are light pink, not red. Even after staking them in their pots, I gave up because they looked messy and awful. Replanted them in a hummingbird upside down planter, one in top and one in bottom. Now they look decent, draping over the sides of the planter, and recently we got our first hummingbirds.
