Plant Information

Plant Care

Dark Towers Penstemon is remarkably low-maintenance once established. Remove spent flower stalks to encourage reblooming and maintain plant vigor. Cut back foliage in late fall or early spring. This plant shows excellent resistance to deer and rabbits while maintaining good drought tolerance after establishment.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Position the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a light layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
