Watering

Fertilizing

Balanced penstemon bloom feed monthly spring through late summer heat

Pruning

For herbaceous perennials that die back, cut dead stems near the crown without damaging new shoots; retained winter stems can be removed in spring. For tender woody perennials such as penstemons, wait until frost risk has passed and shorten old stems just above healthy new growth. Evergreen perennials are tidied by removing dead foliage rather than cutting the whole plant down.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings, division, or layering

Growing

Grow in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade; in autumn, cut plants down to about a third of their height and spread a dry mulch; see penstemon cultivation for more advice
