DESCRIPTION

'Mersea Yellow' Pineleaf Penstemon is a cheerful and long-blooming perennial known for its vibrant yellow, tubular flowers held above a tidy mound of fine, needle-like evergreen foliage. A must-have for sunny, well-drained gardens, it attracts hummingbirds and adds brilliant color to rock gardens, slopes, and the front of borders. It thrives with minimal water once established, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes.

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly to establish, then water deeply but infrequently. It thrives in lean, rocky, or sandy soils and is very drought tolerant. Low maintenance; shear lightly after the main bloom to encourage a tidier habit and possible rebloom.
