PENSTEMON SEEDS

The Penstemon genus, commonly known as Beard Tongue, is a colourful and hardy member of the Plantaginaceae family. These herbaceous perennials are celebrated for their tubular, bell-shaped flowers in vibrant shades of pink, red, purple, blue, and white, which bloom from late spring to early autumn. Penstemon adds vertical interest and a splash of colour to borders, rock gardens, and wildflower meadows.

Native to North and Central America, Penstemon thrives in well-drained soils and sunny locations, tolerating dry and challenging conditions. These low-maintenance plants are highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and hummingbirds. Popular species such as Penstemon digitalis and cultivars like Penstemon 'Raven' are particularly admired for their long-lasting blooms and adaptability to a variety of garden settings.

The Penstemon genus combines beauty, resilience, and ecological value, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking vibrant, pollinator-friendly plants that are easy to grow and care for.
