Penstemon Sweet Cherry

Eye-catching bright red tubular flowers accented with white adorn the sturdy stems of Penstemon ‘Sweet Cherry’. Long flowering and naturally compact, it creates a superb display in borders and patio containers where it will withstand the poorest of British weather. Easy to grow this stunning penstemon is perfect for cottage or wildlife gardens.

Pot up penstemon plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until plants are well grown. Pinch out the growing tips while plants are still small to encourage bushier growth. When plants are well developed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors into borders and patio containers. 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.
