A showy hybrid Beardtongue that puts on a terrific display of deep rose color, the MissionBells™ Deep Rose Penstemon (Penstemon x 'Deep Rose'), bearing spikes of tubular flowers!

You will love the contrast between the blossoms and their burgundy stems as the nodding blooms wave in the breeze and under the weight of all the bees squeezing into them for the valuable nectar reserves!
Deep Rose features tall wands of light and airy tubular blooms that hang bell-like from the 2-foot tall slender stems! The gorgeous mounds of green foliage are the perfect foil to the wand-like blooms and even look great as garden edging once those flowers fade.
MissionBells™ Penstemon are fantastic cultivars of the very hardy native wildflower found throughout the entire US. Highly adaptable to USDA growing zones 5-9, Deep Rose blooms vibrantly from late spring through the heat of summer, much to the delight of your cut flower vases and bouquets!
Planting and Application:
Deep Rose Penstemon are fantastic cut flower and pollinator border plants! The tall wands add height and color to Cottage borders and throughout modernized prairie and wildflower gardens in the sun!

So versatile!
These are smaller upright perennials and are perfect for use as thrillers in containers and planters! You will love having these rosy blooms close by your favorite chair or hammock! Dress up a sunny porch or patio, and add butterflies and color to a seating area! Welcome everyone to your front door with rosy Penstemon waving tall in mixed planters!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Penstemon flowers best in full sun and in well-drained soil conditions, preferring average soil types on the lean side. Provide regular moisture access throughout their first year, but once these herbaceous perennials are established, they are blissfully drought-tolerant and xeric! Provide a 3-4 inch thick layer of Mulch around their crowns well. Very cold tolerant, you can leave the seed heads as winter interest and attract songbirds, or you can deadhead after the flowers fade. Trim all foliage down late fall after frost, and divide every few years to maintain the vigor of the crown.
- Full Sun Blooms
- Average to Low Fertility & Average to Low Moisture
- Well-Drained Soil & Appreciates Mulch
- Drought-Tolerant Once Established
- Deer & Rabbit-Resistant
The new and improved MissionBells™ Deep Rose Penstemon is just the cheerful perennial your garden needs for height, butterflies, and color without any muss or fuss! Order yours today at NatureHills.com!
