Plant description

Graceful spires of fresh white blooms bring a calm, luminous feel to the summer border, standing out clearly against soft green foliage. Slender upright stems carry clusters of smooth, trumpet-shaped flowers that open from pale buds into clean ivory-white bells, each bloom lightly flared at the mouth and held neatly along the stems for a light, airy display.

Naturally bushy and semi-evergreen, Penstemon 'Pensham Wedding Day' forms a tidy clump of narrow green leaves that keeps the plant looking fresh even when not in full flower. It thrives in a sunny, well-drained border, gravel garden or large patio container where its tall stems can rise through surrounding planting.

Care guide

Plant penstemons in well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded position, incorporating compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility. Water regularly until established, then reduce watering, as they prefer drier conditions once settled.

Deadhead faded blooms frequently to extend the flowering season. In autumn, leave the top growth in place to provide winter protection, then cut back in spring when new shoots emerge lower down the stems.

Apply a dry mulch, such as bark or composted straw, around the base in colder regions to insulate the roots from frost. Every few years, lift and divide congested clumps in spring to maintain vigour and encourage fresh growth.
