Penstemon | Port Wine Christian Geall Weser River Sandstone bears beautifulPenstemon Port Wine has stunning panicles of bell shaped wine red flowers and flowers from early summer and into autumn although we have found that plants have continued to flower into winter here with the mild winters we have been experiencing of late.
