Penstemon
'White Bedder'
Penstemon 'White Bedder' is a semi-evergreen perennial with a clean, quietly polished presence, bringing light and freshness to summer borders. Reaching around 60cm in height, it forms a neat, bushy clump topped with slender panicles of tubular, funnel-shaped white flowers. There is something wonderfully useful about Penstemon 'White Bedder', though useful sounds rather too practical for such an elegant plant. Its crisp white blooms brighten mixed planting, soften stronger colours and give evening borders a gentle glow. Free-flowering and refined, Penstemon 'White Bedder' is ideal for gardeners who enjoy a calm, classic palette with plenty of seasonal charm.
Plant Penstemon 'White Bedder' in well-drained soil in a sunny, sheltered position, where its upright flower spires can perform generously through the warmer months. The pure white flowers pair beautifully with lavender, nepeta, salvias, silver foliage and ornamental grasses, creating a border that feels airy, graceful and not too carefully arranged. Its moderate height makes Penstemon 'White Bedder' especially useful in the front or middle of a border, where it can weave among companions without overwhelming them. Elegant, versatile and pleasingly long-flowering, Penstemon 'White Bedder' is a lovely choice for adding brightness, structure and a touch of quiet sophistication.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
