Our cold weather is not the challenge, but too much wetness at the crown in winter will cause them to languish. So, site on well-drained spots and grow them hard. No need to fertilize or embellish the planting hole. Raising the crown a little proud of the soil line can also help. Penstemons, in general, are both deer and rabbit resistant as well as drought tolerant. They are adaptable to all but poorly drained soils. They make good cut flowers, both in bloom and seeds. Long-tongued pollinators are avid visitors. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource: \u003c\/strong\u003esown at Honey Petal Plants with seed from Diane's Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits:\u003c\/strong\u003e courtesy of Diane's Seeds\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52761496092979,"sku":null,"price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/penstemon_palmeri.jpg?v=1765220526","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/penstemon-palmeri-palmers-penstemon","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
