Care Instructions
Penstemons prefer a fertile soil in a warm, sunny or lightly shaded spot. May need winter protection (a dry mulch is best) in colder areas. Removing faded flower stems regularly will prolong the flowering period. They should be cut back in late spring. The flowers are a useful colour for adding depth to cool colour schemes. Loved by bees.
