Plant Information
Care Guide
- Plants are best planted out in the summer, especially if your soil is clay as they dislike winter wet.
- Penstemons do best in a warm, sunny position and are drought tolerant once established.
- When planting, add well-rotted manure or compost to the planting hole.
- Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don't like to be left in standing water.
- Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
- Water well until established.
- Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
- Dead-head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
