Penstemon ‘Enor’ | Enor Beard Tongue
DESCRIPTION
Penstemon 'Enor' is an outstanding variety characterized by its robust, upright, clump-forming habit and lance-shaped, deep green foliage. In late spring to early summer, it produces tall spikes of tubular, deep purple flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, adding vertical interest to the garden. Known for its long bloom time, 'Enor' often flowers throughout most of the growing season. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it is relatively low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Versatile and showy, 'Enor' is ideal for perennial borders, cottage gardens, or as a focal point in mixed plantings, making it a standout in any garden setting.
