Description:

12” x 15” wide (cutting propagated). This unusual color variant (or “sport”) was discovered in an English garden in 1980. Hundreds of soft yellow tubular flowers cover the plant for many weeks in midsummer. Originally, we expected ‘Mersea Yellow’ to not be as vigorous and heat tolerant as orange-flowered Penstemon pinifolius, but its performance in our gardens has proved otherwise. This plant does appreciate a little extra water, and can be grown in both lean and enriched garden soils as long as the drainage is good. Needs afternoon shade in hot desert climates. Yellow Penstemons are a great rarity in this huge genus.

Zones 4-9

Special Notes:

Plant with Artemisia versicolor ‘Sea Foam’!
