Penstemon 'Midnight' is a striking perennial prized for its deep purple, tubular flowers that bloom profusely from late spring into summer, attracting hummingbirds and pollinators to the garden. This upright, clump-forming plant adds dramatic vertical accent and rich color to sunny borders, rock gardens, and cottage-style plantings. It's easy to grow in well-drained soil and is tolerant of drought once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for adding long-lasting seasonal interest.

PLANTING & CARE

Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system; once established, it has good drought tolerance. Deadhead spent flower spikes to encourage continued blooming. Cut back foliage in late fall or early spring.
