If you deadhead regularly, the flowers will persist until the first frosts. The flowers of this penstemon can vary in colour (from magenta- violet with purple undertones, to soft violet-blue. - Garden care: Remove the faded blooms regularly to prolong flowering. Apply a dry mulch around the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost damage and cut back in spring when new shoots appear low down on the stem. Lift and divide congested clumps in spring.
