(Penstemon ‘Garnet’)
Garnet is another of the bushy Penstemons that are easy to grow and prolific flowering. Attractive for most of the year and a food source for native birds.
The flowers are a wine red and they appear from summer through to late autumn.
Penstemons work well with other perennials and lower growing shrubs, in large pots and the garden. They prefer a sunny position and normal garden soil with good drainage.
For best results fertilise at the beginning of spring. During winter prune to a woody frame about 30cm from the ground.
Regular applications of Seasol and Power Feed will keep it looking its best.
