Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in average to lean, well-drained soil. Space 12–18 inches apart. Water thoroughly after planting. Lean conditions and excellent drainage produce the best results.

Care Tips

Water regularly after planting; established plants are drought tolerant. Deadhead spent spikes to encourage rebloom. Cut back to the basal rosette in late fall. Divide every 3–4 years in spring. Largely pest-free and deer resistant. The vivid scarlet-red tubular flowers are one of the brightest colors in the penstemon range and are especially attractive to hummingbirds. A striking, long-blooming perennial for sunny borders.
