Penstemon 'Enor'
Common name(s): beardtongue
Description: perennial; glossy dark green foliage and a sturdy, upright growth habit. A very long bloomer of tubular purple flowers from summer to first frost. Ours has even bloomed for us during several snow events. Will never flop under the weight of its flowers. What's not to love?
Height: to 3 ft. Spread: to 3 ft.
Position: full sun and well-draining soil
Uses: ornamental, to attract pollinators
Winter Hardiness: to 0 F and below
Care: prune to 6 inches above the ground in spring (after all danger of last frost) to rejuvenate foliage. Adding a 1-2 inch layer of gravel around the base increases survivability and prevents crown rot. Cutting back spent blooms in summer will encourage more blooming but is not necessary. No fertilizer.
