Growing Information

Penstemon plants prefer well-drained soil and can tolerate less fertile conditions, making them suitable for a variety of garden settings. They grow best in full sun to partial shade and benefit from moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering sessions. This drought-tolerant nature supports their use in low-maintenance landscapes. Suitable for USDA zones 3 through 9, Penstemon is a resilient addition to perennial gardens.
