Slender stems of scarlet blooms sway above clumps of narrow, semi-evergreen foliage from midsummer, persisting right through to autumn. Penstemon 'King George V' is a well-loved variety that works hard in sunny borders, mingling beautifully with ornamental grasses and other perennials. This tough and reliable hardy perennial introduces a bold splash of colour to planting schemes and attracts nectar-hungry pollinators to the garden. Height: 75cm (30"). Spread: 60cm (24").

How to Grow

Grow penstemon in a sunny or semi shaded position on fertile, well drained soil. Penstemons can tolerate dry soils once established but dislike heavy soils that are particularly cold and wet in winter. Improve heavy soils by adding plenty of coarse grit prior to planting.

More Info

Feed and water penstemons regularly until they are fully established. Once established they are reasonably tolerant of drought and will require little maintenance. Deadhead faded penstemon flowers to maintain the plant's vigour and encourage further blooms to be produced. In cold areas apply a dry mulch of bark chips of straw around the crown of each plant in autumn. Leave the old foliage intact until spring to protect plants during winter.
