#ProPlantTips for Care:
Penstemon flowers best in full sun and in well-drained soil conditions, preferring average soil types on the lean side. Provide regular moisture access throughout their first year, but once these herbaceous perennials are established, they are blissfully drought-tolerant and xeric! Provide a 3-4 inch thick layer of Mulch around their crowns, these are very cold tolerant, you can leave these seed heads as winter interest and attract songbirds, or deadhead them to tidy up the mounds in fall. Trim all foliage down late fall after frost, and divide every few years to maintain the vigor of the crown, and you get a second plant out of the deal!
- Blooms Best in Full Sun
- Adaptable - Average to Low Moisture Needs
- Any Very Well-Drained Soil
- Drought-Tolerant Once Established
- Deer & Rabbit-Resistant
