Penstemon NOVA® ‘Twilight’
A fabulous new look in Penstemon! Clouds of violet-blue flowers float at the top half of the neat, upright plant. So nice for a garden or container work. The medium small flowers are great pollinator attractors and continue for months. It's a very long time since an entirely new type of Penstemon has been introduced! This is it!
