Plant Overview

Sumptuous dark purple flowers with white throats between June and October.

Penstemon ‘Raven’ has been awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s prestigious Award of Garden Merit (AGM).

Equally at home in traditional cottage garden or contemporary displays, an ideal plant for the middle of the border.

Border Penstemons are happy in pretty much any type of soil, in full sun or partial shade.

Height: 60-90cm

Penstemons can be divided into roughly two types. Border hybrids, which grow to between 60 and 80cm and are very colourful, and species Penstemons which are usually lower growing with smaller flowers. Nearly all originate from North America. Border hybrids tend to flower from June to October and species for a shorter period, earlier in the season.

All our plants are supplied in 9x10cm pots unless otherwise specified. Plants in this size pot establish quickly in the garden and often outpace plants in bigger pots planted at the same time. Our potted plants can be planted immediately, unless otherwise noted, or you can leave them in their pots until you are ready to plant. We grow almost everything we sell ourselves, in our nursery in the Buckinghamshire countryside. Our prices include VAT at 20%.
