Plant once and they'll come back every year bursting into bloom for the summer again. A light trim to tidy them up in April will keep them bushy.

Pot up plugs into 9cm pots and grow them on in warm frost free conditions for transplanting later on. When all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days. Transplant penstemon plants into borders and containers in a sunny or semi shaded position.
Feed and water plants frequently whilst they are getting established. Deadhead faded flowers to encourage more blooms to be produced. A little trim in April every year will keep them in shape.
