Penstemon ‘Firebird’

An old vigorous variety raised in Switzerland in the 1930s, now nearing its 100th birthday. “A glowing shade of red...” narrowly tubular flowers are a joy from late spring until winter. A particularly long lived cultivar P. ‘Fire Bird’ is a tough frost hardy plant which needs very little supplementary watering. I water it half a dozen times a year at the most. 90cm x 90cm. Sun.
