Deadhead after blooming. In cold climates, mulch for the winter.

Water Requirements: Water soil fully, then let moderately dry out before next watering.

Looking forward to spring

Familiar with the name Penstemon, but not this particular variety. In reading the descriptive matter, it ticked all my boxes for a plant that should really work well in my garden. It has settled in nicely this late in the season and I’m looking forward to spring growth and flowers.
