Penstemons produce foxglove-like flowers, which look fantastic in informal and cottage garden schemes, and are extremely attractive to bumblebees.

They thrive in full sun to partial shade, in moist but well-drained soil. Many varieties of penstemon are hardy in all but the harshest winters, but do move plants under cover or take summer cuttings to ensure they survive winter.

Penstemon linarioides subsp. sileri bears pretty, yellow flowers from July to August. It's ideal for growing at the front of a sunny border, or in pots on the patio.
