Do you want to decorate the site with a truly unpretentious and cute perennial? I invite you to meet my new favorite - perky penstemon. I don't think most of my readers have heard of this. I recently saw a relative myself!

Penstemon is an upright plant with a decent height. This is a noticeable handsome man who will definitely not get lost among the host and astilbe. Most species grow on average 60-80 cm. Therefore, you can plant a flower on a flower bed and hide something)

Penstemon is an unpretentious (I will talk about this below) perennial with a dense rhizome. Dissolves in vertical garlands of bright bells. Moreover, unlike most other abundantly flowering plants, penstemon adorns summer cottages and flower beds from mid / late June to the very frost!

And without much effort on the part of the owner ...

And this is a solid color

My relative lives in the Krasnodar Territory, if you know - Taman. There is a very dry climate.

And also my aunt does not like to do flowers, focusing on the "profitable" garden, and penstemon grows well in the heat without regular watering. Unless Aunt Tanya occasionally pampers him with a watering can, when the earth has already begun to crack completely.

Of course, there is no question of any top dressing) On the Internet, they also write that it grows well on poor soils. But, so that there was direct abundant flowering, it is still advised to "feed" once a summer.

It is a pity that I did not dare to take the rhizome by plane. Fortunately, the plant reproduces by seed, blooming for 1-2 years. I am looking for where to buy. I wonder how he will feel in the northwestern climate?
