Penstemon Elite Purple |
 |
HABIT:
|
Very compact perennial, more dwarf than any other variety on the market. Height 60cm high by 40cm wide. |
POSITION:
|
Full sun to part shade, best protected from the harshest Summer sun. |
| FLOWERING: |
Elite Purple will flower all year but the best flowering period is during Spring and Autumn. Unlike inferior varieties Elite Purple holds its flowers during wet weather on short stems for long periods and requires far less pruning to encourage new blooms. The flowers are a deep, strong purple with white throats. During trials this was the strongest purple colour. |
| USES: |
Wherever you need long term colour and like a little bit of height. Penstemon Elite easily out perform any other varieties on the market and in our trials flowered for more than twice as long as any other varieties, while remaining compact and not getting "leggy". They are perfect for perennial borders and under planting of standard plants where they will stay squat and colourful. |
| CARE: |
Use hedge shears to prune to shape occasionally when required, or remove entire flower stem as they finish, this will quickly encourage a bushier plant and repeat flower. They will perform better and flower more profusely with average garden watering (soak well in hot weather) and a fertilize every season with an all purpose organic fertilizer. |
