Question from
Dawn Thornton
Hi
Last Autumn I bought some Penstemon Plugs. I have overwintered them in the greenhouse, potting them on. They are now quite big and strong. Can I plant them out yet or do I need to wait until after that last frost please?
Thanks
Dawn

Tip from
Brian mc
I live in North Lanarkshire(scotland) - should I prune this penstemon back to ground level in spring even though we have relatively short flowering season? Or should I just give it a trim back to the new shoots? Also how does this plant respond to being moved transplanted to another spot with the same exposure, soil type and daylight?
