Penstemon (reduced) Collection

These hale and hearty plants are quick to establish and don’t need a lot of fuss. Their compact nature will work well in both landscapes and containers. They will remain evergreen in all but the coldest climates and come into their own as many perennials are beginning to flag.

Pep Talk Penstemon have larger flowers on strong stems that don’t need staking and can bloom for up to five months.

Beneficial insects such as bees and butterflies flock to the flowers. The flowers will even last well in a vase.

Happy in poor, to moderately fertile, or humus rich, well drained soils. Water to establish then only if rainfall is low, they become dry tolerant once they establish. It is a good idea to prune them back to the woody base in early spring to promote healthy growth. They tend to rot in boggy soils, so it is a good idea to ensure there is adequate drainage. Rabbits are rarely interested in Penstemon, but slugs and snails are easily tempted, so it is a good idea to offer them some protection.
