Penstemon Dakota Burgundy – Burgundy Foliage Penstemon

£12.99

Size

Summer flowers are only part of the appeal of Penstemon Dakota Burgundy. Its glossy leaves introduce deep wine-purple tones to the garden, with lavender-coloured blooms rising above the leafy clump on slender stems.

Its manageable size makes it easy to include beside a sunny path or among shorter border plants. For a simple patio display, give it a roomy container and surround it with low-growing white or pale pink flowers to draw attention to the darker leaves.

Choose Dakota Burgundy where you want the character of a dark-leaved penstemon in a smaller planting space. Its combination of upright flowers and compact foliage adds variety without dominating the display.
