Care Guide

• Plants are best planted out in the summer, especially if your soil is clay as they dislike winter wet.
• Penstemons do best in a warm, sunny position and are drought tolerant once established.
• When planting, add well-rotted manure or compost to the planting hole.
• Unpack plugs immediately, and stand them in water for an hour.
• If you can?t do this, they can sit in Mini Greenhouses for a week if upright and not too wet.
• Plugs may be slightly dry or yellow after being in a dark box in the post but they?ll quickly recover.
• Put them somewhere warm, light and airy such as a windowsill or greenhouse.
• When potting on, handle plugs carefully. Pot on using our 9cm pots in Shuttle Trays, using good multi-purpose compost.
• Give your plants a good water initially, then only when the top compost starts to dry. They don?t like to be left in standing water.
• Plant approx. 20cm (8in) apart to allow them room to grow.
• Water well until established.
• Feed using a high-potash feed such as Blooming Fast Superior Soluble Fertiliser for Flowers & Fruits, to encourage flowering.
• Dead-head when flowers fade to encourage more flowers.
