Penstemon ‘Swan Lake’

Common Name:
Penstemon ‘Swan Lake’

Description:
Penstemon ‘Swan Lake’ is an elegant, upright perennial featuring an abundance of crisp white, tubular bell-shaped flowers that bloom from late spring through to autumn. The pure white flowers sit gracefully on slender stems above narrow, green foliage, bringing a fresh, luminous quality to garden beds and borders. This variety thrives in Melbourne’s climate, performing best in full sun to part shade and well-drained soils. Once established, it is both drought and frost tolerant, and requires only light pruning to encourage further blooming and maintain a tidy form. ‘Swan Lake’ is particularly striking when planted en masse or used to create contrast among darker foliage and bolder coloured flowers. It is ideal for cottage gardens, mixed borders, and pollinator-friendly plantings.
