Rock Candy Pink Penstemon

Penstemon 'Novapenpin'

Plant Details:

Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Scrophulariaceae
Plant Description: Rock Candy Pink Penstemon is a neat and compact clump of green foliage. The late spring brings a heavy bloom of vibrant pink, bell-shaped flowers covering upright stems. If lightly trimmed after this first flush, another round of striking color can be enjoyed in late summer.

Maintenance:

Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
