Penstemon ‘Dakota Burgundy’

Penstemon ‘Dakota Burgundy’ is a striking perennial popular for its rich burgundy foliage and vibrant tubular flowers that bloom from early to late summer. Tall spikes of rosy-pink to lavender blooms rise above the dark leaves, creating a dramatic contrast that adds colour and structure to borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly planting schemes. Loved by bees and hummingbirds, this hardy penstemon thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it a reliable, low-maintenance choice for modern perennial gardens. Ideal for mixed borders and wildlife gardens, Penstemon ‘Dakota Burgundy’ offers long-lasting seasonal interest, excellent drought tolerance once established, and attractive foliage from spring through autumn.
