Penstemon 'Pink Cloud'

Penstemon 'Pink Cloud'

This is one of the large flowered summer blooming Penstemons which I have growing amongst some roses. I cut this one back yesterday and took lots of cuttings from the pruned stems. Penstemons often produce new roots at the nodes of the side shoots along the flowering stems. This makes it a very easy plant to propagate and cuttings will strike readily at any time of year. The larger flowering Penstemons are best replaced after a couple of years if they become to woody or straggly.
2017 update: I no longer grow Penstemons.
