Penstemon eatonii aka Eaton's Penstemon

If you're looking for a plant that offers a moderate level of challenge, Eaton's Penstemon is a great choice to test your gardening skills.

Eaton's Penstemon should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Eaton's Penstemon loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

During the cold period, it is common for Eaton's Penstemon to go dormant, resulting in a slowdown of growth. To accommodate this, waterings should be spaced out more.

There is no verified data on the toxicity of this plant in the records of Ploi. If any person, including yourself, a family member, or a pet, consume plant material with an uncertain toxicity level, it is advisable to seek the advice of a healthcare expert.

Repotting the Eaton's Penstemon should be done either when it has doubled in size or on a yearly basis, whichever occurs sooner. Fresh potting soil with all the required nutrients, refreshed annually, will provide the plant with all the necessary sustenance, making the use of fertilizer unnecessary. Keep in mind that plants receive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.
