Penstemon plant named ‘Novapenblu’

Abstract

The new Penstemon plant was created by the crossing of parent plants which had been studied in the hope that they might provide desired characteristics. Attractive bluish-purple blossoms with a white throat are formed in the absence of a vernalization requirement for flowering. An upright compact mounding growth habit is displayed. The plant is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation.

We claim:

 (a) displays an upright compact growth habit with strong basal branching, 
 (b) is lacking a vernalization requirement for flowering, 
 (c) forms attractive bluish-purple blossoms with a white throat, and 
 (d) is well suited for providing attractive ornamentation; 
 
       substantially as illustrated and described.
