Penstemon 'Red Riding Hood'

Penstemon are a staple of the English summer perennial border, for itheir long flowering nature.  Red Riding Hood features upright vivid red trumpet flower spikes, clumping to 75cm x 50cm height and spread.  Thriving in sun or partial shade in any decent well drained garden soil this arresting and striking plant adds drama to any summer border.  As with all penstemon refrain from cutting back old and tired stems until the risk of harsh frosts has completely passed.
