Bred for a more compact size and increased hardiness this baby performs! Upright stems to 2 are tight in 20 clumps…tubular bright cherry red flowers are almost nonstop all summer and fall right up to frost…roll out the hummer carpet! Average garden soil with good drainage, full sun…water when dry. We love Penstemons anyway…but this series from Terra Nova loses the floppies and waves her banner of blooms high…Go Go Cha Cha!
