Penstemon 'Pristine Nightshade'

We love all the colors of summer annuals and appreciate their speed in reaching their maximum awesomeness. But summer blooming perennials have a special place in our hearts for their unique looks and ability to return year after year. 'Pristine Nightshade' penstemon (aka Beardtongue) produces upright stalks of tubular purple flowers from late spring and throughout the summer. Deadheading spent blooms ensures repeat flowers as does cutting fresh flowers for bouquets. You may have to fight off the hummingbirds and pollinators though! 'Pristine Nightshade' penstemon is shorter than other penstemons, making it a perfect choice for container planters and even hanging baskets, and does as well there as along sunny garden borders.
