:: Scrophulariaceae :: PENSTEMON :: hybrid :: QUARTZ® AMETHYST 'Novapename'
  • Type of products available: 1/0A7
  • Protection : COV in progress

Main asset

Blooms continuously 6 months per year, very good resistance to drought, bright pale pink color with purple marks. Clusters are "self-cleaning" (the flowers fall alone before fading once pollinated by bees).

Remarks

Prune back above the ground at the start of vegetation (mid-April), then simply remove occasionally the wilted spikes.

The Penstemon Quartz® are a new American selection from Star Roses and Plants® (group Ball Horticultural Company), composed of robust upright varieties, highly branched from the base, with very abundant flowering continuously from June to the first frosts. Large clusters of bells appear in late spring and continue until October.
