Here's the answer to your gardening question...

You asked:

When should I prune my Penstemon plants?

Our Advice:

The best time to prune these plants is when you notice the new growth starting in the spring. Cut the plants back by two-thirds to encourage shoots from the base. After pruning feed with a general fertiliser such as Vitax Q4 or pelleted chicken manure.
