'Strawberries and Cream' is a semi-evergreen perennial with beautiful trumpet-shaped flowers borne over a long period from May to November. The incredibly marked flowers are a creamy white with splotches of pale pink and red. Penstemons are wonderfully easy to grow, accepting of a variety of conditions and positions in the garden.
Please note herbaceous plants naturally die-back during the colder months. We always ensure plants have at least some growth during this time, however when buying during October through to March, the growth may be minimal and the foliage may be discoloured from winter cold. These plants are waiting for the warmer conditions of spring when they can produce new growth from below the soil.
