Propagating Penstemons from cuttings is a fantastic way to grow more plants for free. In this video I will show you how to select material for your cutting, prepare your cuttings and how to pot them on once they have rooted. Penstemons are versatile plants that suit many styles of garden. I use 'Dark Towers' to complement my tropical plants as it has dark maroon foliage.

Once potted on, do you plant into your border ? The same year or wait for the following?!

Very clear video thank you. I took some penstemon cuttings last year but kept the tips on so they have grown a bit ‘lank’. Can I cut these floppy stems back by half to encourage stronger growth? Next time I’ll take out the tips for bushier plants!

Yes, you can pinch out the growing tips and they will become stronger 🌱

“Love” seeing results... I have two new plants from the garden centre that are already quite woody (June 3) and are almost 3 foot stems with a single flower bud at the tip ....there aren’t any side shoots, if I pinch back will I lose flowering this year? my other penstemon flowers up the stem whereas “onyx and black pearls” seems to only have a flower at end of the stalk? Can’t figure out if I sacrifice the single stalk or not, if it is starting to show a bud at the end...do cuttings work from flowering branches as well? When I pinch back other perennials they send out two new side shoots at the connection below cutting...thank u! More vids plse! Love how clear and concise you are. Thnx from Toronto
