Penstemon ‘Alice Hindley’
My favourite Penstemon, with the loveliest blue-mauve white throated flowers beautifully poised on long pedicels. Flowering as it does from late spring until winter it has been a mainstay of our double borders for many years. Penstemon are tough plants with very little artificial water requirements. It’s a mistake to cut them back too hard in winter, about half way is safe. We remove old spent stems when the new spring growth gets to 30cm or so. 90cm x 90cm. from early spring until summer. Mostly evergreen, it tolerates some frost but should be planted in late spring in very cold districts. It has coped with frost here at Lambley in a sheltered position. Whilst it is a climbing plant it can, with a little trimming, be grown as a shrub . 200cm by 150cm.
