Penstemon heterophyllus 'True Blue'Foothill Penstemon, Beard Tongue

When large enough to handle, transplant the seedlings to boxes or 7.5cm (3in) pots, and grow on in cooler conditions. When well grown, gradually acclimatise to outdoor conditions and plant out in late spring after all risk of frost has passed. Plant 30cm (12in) apart in full sun and well-drained soil.

To treat as a perennial cut down the stems to ground level in the autumn and cover with a thick mulch of compost.
