Penstemon 'Laura' - This hardy perennial shows excellent tolerance to rain and drought, meaning it produces beautiful flowers for five months! Penstemon 'Laura' produces bell-shaped blooms with a white base and vibrant pink tips, surrounded by masses of bright green, semi-evergreen foliage. Perfect for growing at the front of borders or in patio containers where they can really show off. Pot up penstemon plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until plants are well grown. Pinch out the growing tips while plants are still small to encourage bushier growth. When plants are well developed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors into borders and patio containers. Grow penstemon in a sunny or semi shaded position on fertile, well drained soil. Penstemons can tolerate dry soils once established but dislike heavy soils that are particularly cold and wet in winter. Improve heavy soils by adding plenty of coarse grit prior to planting. Fe
