How to Plant and Care for Penstemon

Once you buy penstemon plants, planting and care are straightforward. Choose a spot with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Space your penstemons about 30 to 45 cm apart to allow good air circulation. After planting, keep them watered through the first growing season, then water only during extended dry spells. Remove spent flowers to encourage repeat blooming and cut back old stems in late winter to keep plants healthy and tidy.

Create Lasting Colour in Your Garden

Penstemons offer months of colour with minimal fuss. By choosing to buy penstemon plants, you’re ensuring your garden remains bright and lively well into autumn. Pair them with ornamental grasses, lavenders, or dianthus for harmonious and naturalistic displays that thrive in New Zealand’s climate.
