Penstemon 'Parade of Parrots'
Penstemon 'Parade of Parrots' is a striking, upright perennial producing a spectacular display of richly saturated claret-purple flowers. The bold blooms are held on strong stems above fresh green foliage, creating an impressive vertical accent in summer borders.
Flowering from June to October, 'Parade of Parrots' provides an exceptionally long season of colour. Even the developing seed heads retain a deep reddish blush, extending the ornamental display beyond the main flowering period.
Best grown in full sun and average, well-drained soil, this vigorous variety is ideal for mixed borders, cottage gardens and cut flower displays. Avoid overwatering and apply a gravel mulch around the crown to help reduce the risk of winter crown rot.
