Penstemon DAKOTA Burgundy
Kept these plants in their pots for quite a while after receiving them, but when unpotted they had very healthy roots and I swear doubled in size immediately once in the ground--in October, even. I've had marvelous results with plants from US Perennials--thank you!

These plants were part of a larger order that I placed from US Perennials. As a perennial gardener I find their plants healthy and a great price. Rather than driving around looking for the plants I'm interested in I have found ordering from them to be easy, breezy.
