Description:

18” x 15” wide (cutting propagated) 1999 Plant Select® winner. This, the companion to Penstemon x ‘Red Rocks’™ with concord grape-colored flowers, “Pike’s Peak Purple”™ is long blooming and easy to grow. I like to plant it with yellow-flowered perennials like Coreopsis ‘Sunray’ and Sundrops (Calylophus). This is a vigorous grower that performs best in moderately fertile, but well-drained soils. Will flower most vigorously with regular watering. Zones 5-9.

Special Notes:

Plant with yellow-flowered perennials like Coreopsis ‘Sunray’ and Sundrops (Calylophus)
