Remarks

‘Mersea Yellow’ is similar to the orange red pineleaf penstemon in culture, except for requiring a bit more water. Native perennial to the Southwest. Its leaves are lighter green, but still evergreen, without the tinge of mahogany in winter. ‘Mersea Yellow’ is an excellent selection for the medium water-use zones of your landscape. One of the few yellow flowering penstemons.

Use in Garden

Sunny, medium low to medium water-use bed or border. Native plant garden. Rock garden.

Maintenance

Snip off spent flower stems at winter's end.
