1st of May is Penstemon day is the old saying when you cut your penstemons down. Never failed yet. Have got numerous different penstemons and in 50 years never lost a single one. Also my keep green all year, even when had the beast from the east a few years ago. Yes a little brown around the edges but mostly green. We live in a very exposed windy area and l don't cut my flower stems off, so l have some flowers basically on them until May. Maybe l they don't suffer from windrock as they are in a clay soil but l can see why you might want to implement that prosess you suggest if you have a loose soil. I have as l said all types the bigger thicker leaf types and the thinner leaf types and so far after all these years everyone of them has been fine. Thank you so much for your videos keep up the good work looking forward to your next one !
Many thanks Rosy for explaining this so clearly, great advice 🙂
