Intense Electric Blue Flowers, Purple Tinges, Silvery Foliage And Pollinator Appeal From June Into Autumn!
Penstemon heterophyllus 'Electric Blue' is a cracking choice for proper colour and a statement plant that impresses for many months. From June, this bushy evergreen perennial throws up vivid, funnel-shaped blue flowers, each with a purple tinge that makes the display look even richer.
The flowers sit on red stems above silvery blue-green foliage, giving the whole plant a sharp, colourful look before and during flowering. It grows up to 60cm wide, so it makes a real statement in borders and containers.
This is also an RHS recommended 'Plant for Pollinators', as bees and other beneficial insects are drawn to the tubular blooms, helping bring movement and life into the garden.
Also known as Beard Tongue, Penstemon are loved for their long flowering season, resilience and easy garden performance. Plant it in a sunny border or patio pot and enjoy months of colour, from early summer into autumn.
Supplied as an established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready to plant.
Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
