Penstemon 'Wedding Day'
Penstemon 'Wedding Day' is a charming and elegant cultivar of the popular beard-tongue genus, renowned for its pristine white flowers and long blooming period. This herbaceous perennial forms neat, upright clumps that typically reach a height of 60-75 cm, making it an excellent choice for middle positions in mixed borders or as a standalone feature in smaller gardens.
From early summer through to early autumn, 'Wedding Day' produces an abundance of large, bell-shaped flowers in pure white, occasionally tinged with the faintest hint of pink. These blooms are borne on tall, sturdy stems above lance-shaped, dark green foliage. The contrast between the crisp white flowers and the deep green leaves creates a fresh, clean appearance that justifies its bridal-inspired name.
Thriving in full sun to partial shade, Penstemon 'Wedding Day' prefers well-draining soil and exhibits good drought tolerance once established. Its long flowering period and attractive to pollinators make it a valuable addition to cottage gardens, cutting gardens, and wildlife-friendly plantings.
