Penstemon 'Harlequin Purple' -

From the high-performing Harlequin™ series! Showy, abundant spikes of large, vibrant purple tubular flowers (deep purple petals with contrasting white centers/throats) rise above bushy, compact plants for nonstop summer-to-fall color. Upright to mounding habit (18-24" tall, 16-24" wide) with leathery, serrated dark green leaves that stay attractive all season. Vigorous, disease-resistant, and bred for superior garden performance—blooms profusely without much fuss, even in poorer soils. Ideal for adding bold, long-lasting purple drama to sunny spots, attracting pollinators, and creating easy-care displays in borders, rockeries, or pots. A favorite for hummingbird gardens!

Care Tips: Plant in well-drained soil and water regularly until established (then low water needs—drought-tolerant). Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced formula. Cut back spent spikes to encourage more blooms and tidy growth. In zone 5 (Chicago), mulch in winter for extra protection; it often returns reliably as a hardy perennial here. Full sun brings the best flowering and vigor!
