Penstemon digitalis

NZ$22.00
Out of Stock

Height: 60-90cm

Spacing: 30cm

Bloom period: December-March.

Deep burgundy foliage and a spike of many tubular white flowers flushed with lavender. If picked when the lower 1/3 of flowers are blooming, it is a good cut flower. Once too many open flowers are pollinated, they will start to drop off. It is a glorious plant in the garden (I LOVE burgundy foliage!) It also has attractive, glossy, burgundy seedpods which can be used fresh or dried in flower arrangements for some fun texture.

It can be propagated easily by division.

Supplied in August as dormant bare-rooted plant divisions with a little potting mix and wrapped in moist paper. Plant straight away in warmer climates, or pot up in a sheltered spot (e.g. greenhouse/coldframe) until temperatures warm up.

*Please Note: The price is for 3 larger grade bare-root divisions. These have been growing in our nursery for longer and are more established than the 5 crown bundles. Each one will become a plant.*
