Cha Cha™ 'Cherry' Penstemon is a symphony of color, flaunting countless scarlet trumpet-like flowers starting in spring and lasting straight into fall.
Cha Cha™ 'Cherry' Penstemon, a sun-loving darling, rises on upright foliage and is simply dazzling in borders, mass plantings, and as cut flowers. Even the dark seed heads make for an attractive scene in arrangements.
Just as gardeners adore these cherry red blooms, so do our favorite pollinators, like hummingbirds and butterflies. With all of these things going for it, one might think that no one would be immune to its charms, but deer can't stand it and that's a great thing for us.
This perennial is upright and bushy, reaching 2 feet high when not in bloom and a few inches more when topped with neon-bright flowers. The bloom season is so long, the flowers are so brilliant, and the pollinators are so attentive that Cha Cha™ 'Cherry' Penstemon really steals the show in the sunny garden.
